I am still trying to crunch the numbers for some potential deals.

I've been crunching numbers on some of the deals I've seen offered here just to get confident with the relationships between purchase price, NOI, CAP, and cash-on-cash returns - to begin to understand what I could afford and what it might result in for me.

Insurance, utilities, taxes.You should, with these facts know if the numbers crunch for you.
