I've done research in finding and analyzing properties so I feel somewhat comfortable in that regard.Here is a sample scenario below of a real property I've done some analysis on.

Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?

Talking about LLCs is one of the biggest analysis paralysis pits out there, but what you are thinking is the way to build that credit.

The other 75% of the skills required to be a good developer will have to be learned elsewhere (a good mentor is the best way).These include everything from Zoning/Subdivision/Land Issues to Environmental Issues to Permitting Nuances to Design Issues, plus all the differences in financial analysis.

i've been in analysis paralysis not wanting to squander this amazing cash out return I got on a property.I have been trying to figure out if i should look into loans and buying more property for less carry a mortgage and utilize that debt in the future, or just say screw it and buy a couple 100k-300k properties all cash and 1031 in 2-5 years.any input or guidance on helping me make my ADHD mind up would be great!

They are zoning and land use regulations, accessibility, environmental factors, market analysis, topography and terrain, utilities and services, neighbourhood characteristics, restrictions and opportunities, development feasibility, financial analysis etcetera.

Now you have to be able to do a thorough deal analysis, note the downside potential and also be prepared to put your own money in.  

Do 5 deal analysis and you will succeed.  

I’m in the learning stage of starting up and it is a steep learning curve with tons of information to digest.

However, if you can manage to find the very few who either don't want to be an investment owner or would prefer to upgrade their capital into something more profitable for their stage of life, launch on it.
