What do I have: Money, analytical skills, connections?

Good thing you found these tools that will help you with your business and I'm really happy for you.With FlipPilot, can you integrate GoBig, as to show the analytics or stats for the mailers?

I won’t know how close they are for another 12-16 months VRBO/HA has free analytics that are extremely powerful.

However, if my goal is predictable returns, the analytics dictate the decision.

In other words, I want someone who looks at it from a more analytical perspective.

You mentioned that it still meets the 1% rule so you were willing to go $15K above what you thought it would appraise for, and since you mentioned this is your first time, I just want to double check that you are using other analytics than just seeing if it meets the 1% rule. 

My biggest strength is analysis and analytical thinking.

For example, I’m naturally more of an introvert, analytic, steady and diligent type person.

@Tim BradleyLove following along, plus your entertainment value in your descriptions are superb.

Since I am an analytic, the numbers always need to work for the deal; however, I have sometimes jumped into a deal with lower projections or a compressed cap rate just because I had the cash sitting there waiting to be deployed.
