Knowing how to find profitable deals (and analyze them) is a much more valuable skill than knowing how to raise capital.

How should one go about analyzing this?

Hello friends, Can someone recommend names of people with experience and knowledge about analyzing and navigating the process of buying land using the seller financing method?

I have found time is better spent building tools to quickly analyze & procure new deals, rather than hyper-analyzing the metrics of one deal, ultimately making initial review faster & more reliable (spend time on the things that make sense, quickly remove things that don't, even junior-level staff can identify good opportunities with the tools, etc).For example, if I'm modeling a SFR to 3-4 unit scheme, I can quickly check the $/sf/mo for each of my proposed units and get a good idea of the GOI without having to manually dig through &  find rent comps in that City/Zip:- So instantly I know in Woodland Hills that a Studio is close to $5/sf/mo on avg, 1 Bedroom closer to $4/sf/mo, with the 2 & 3 Bedrooms closer to $3/sf/mo.

Lots of unknowns here, but this is the thought the process I use when analyzing opportunities. 

I've bought duplexes where the cash on cash was great on paper, but after expenses, vacancy, residents not paying, cash flow disappeared.When you analyze a deal, the numbers are super important.

She just did such a terrible job at managing this, I am having to micro analyze every line item.

Not saying you should do a bad deal, just that literally any property will make a huge difference in your take home pay, I'd be analyzing them differently than you would if you needed the cash flow.

My initial read of your post makes me think you're over-analyzing this.Pick a couple areas and go visit...you'll know when it feels right.

Would have a great re-sale potential of about $1.5mm profit on $500k investment over 2 years Cash on Cash plus the rental during that period, plus I've analyzed the market, and it is a solid location with little potential competition that could build.The Country Subdivision has the greatest return with the least amount of input, but the housing market and thus lot sales are a little more questionable, although this is a great location.
