thanks James, in analyzing regional data, Louisville continues to show a strong local economy, with a decent trend in the growing rental market, lower median home prices and values, good reasons to make it appealing to us since we are looking to expand our portfolios, providing more affordability to enter into this market ... besides, good friends live in this city ... our visit will make it a business expense :)

When I try to analyze a deal, I feel like there are so many steps within each step that make it more difficult to actually figure out how to do it.

Depending on the lender for a DSCR rental property loan, rates will be about 0.125% to .25% lower if you put 25% versus 20% down on an investment property purchase if it's the same borrower credit score and profile being analyzed. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I wanted to see if anyone analyzed their latest Atlanta deal.

I don’t make a move without thoroughly researching and analyzing every possible outcome.

You can determine a competitive offer price for a property, analyze market trends, property condition, income potential, and operating expenses.

But when analyzing my portfolio, I have to assess each house independently to identity outperformers/laggards.
