You two are very knowledgeable and extremely analytical.......I've enjoyed reading all your posts (I suck at analytical.....my head hurts)

Hi BP fam,I'm a 24 year old kid who loves his job in digital marketing analytics and also freelances projects in the field on the side.

It was refreshing to read something that made sense analytically instead of endless bogus narratives about making a fortune with no money down. 

Analytical junkies,I'm looking at buying a house in a working class part of Houston, Galena Park, at a significant discount to market value but I have a reservation about a disturbing trend in its tax appraisal values.  

Thanks in advance I mean monthly rent = 3% of purchase price. for example use a $30,000 home.1% deal will yield $300 per month (Barely Breaking even)2% deal will yield $600 per month (Great)3% deal will yield $900 per month (Superb)It's just a very basic guideline for evaluating prospective properties.

A few companies created a profitable niche, with data driven analytics and promotion. 

I have an analytical and creative mind (says everyone right?

I've recently become debt free with the exception of my primary residence ($93k owed on $120k value, 14 years left @2.75%) and I'm working on getting it paid off before I'm 40.I'm educated, opinionated, animated, and analytical so I'm not one to jump into something new without understanding it and evaluating all my options.

For me personally, it says we are lucky that we still have a lower entry point then most folks markets.If we jump in and really become bit more analytical.

Seeing that a lot of BP content is on multi unit / more complex type of deals, but not on smaller operations like the one I have in mind...a lot of the analytics and numbers usually refer to larger operations...any thoughts as to what numbers to look for when dealing with more niche/specific units like a ski house in upstate NY vs. a condo in Miami Beach from a numbers perspective?
