I am calling on all investors to share your insights on how you would analyze this deal and what your max offer would be or if you'd pass.

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

These deals I analyze have come from borrowers looking for private money.

You should get onto a lot of wholesaler lists and analyzing deals so that you can start recognizing what a good deal in your area looks like.

So you have to analyze active versus passive investments and how you want to allocate your time for your overall short and long term investing and career plans.Good luck

https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesI have uploaded my own spreadsheet file to my BP Fileplace which has an analyzer and estimator tool if you want to check it out:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/house-flipping-spreadsheet-6-lite

Don't buy into this common media hysteria.Sources:1. https://www.axios.com/2023/07/24/states-jobs-unemployment-ra...2. https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product3. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/4. https://www.bankrate.com/real-estate/existing-home-sales/ Again another poster that doesn’t read the entire thread LOLWe make killing in 2023 I can assure you lolthis thread is not about predicting market crash but analyzing multiple dynamics 

Finally once you have made the macro considerations then you can use the spreadsheets to analyze deals and scenarios which there are multiple templates online, or find an agent that will do that for you.

This is really a great short-cut to analyzing deals, because I can easily look at the ARV spread (which you should seldom trust, by the way) and see if it is even feasible to make how much I want to make.  

Incredible, this feedback is certainly helpful and I will analyze the pros and cons for both.
