I’m fairly new as well and trying to dive deep into everything before my first purchase.

If you have one that has commission breath, find yourself another agent.In addition to the market knowledge, a good agent will know how to negotiate the best possible deal for you.  

I've never been fond of the idea of using more cash, but it does leave a lot more breathing room to cut your mortgage in half. 

Pretty deep for no equity, IMO. 

This property is so deep into negative cash flow that it is not a investment by any stretch of the imagination.

Took the plunge a few months ago and boy did I jump in the deep end. 

The sample looks a lot like the seller (or seller's agent) found some calculation online and punched it into a formula ignoring performance in real life.If you're a potential buyer looking at investing in this property, take a deep breath and take a step back.

Before I dive back deep into the search process, I wanted to test out my BS radar from a listing and post it here just to make sure there isn’t anything I’m missing.

Larger multi family could be better, especially if you can fix something up and bring rents to market.I think most parameters are estimates, and are made to give some breathing room on the deals.

Please let me know your thoughts or places to go to deep dive this myself.
