Learn how to evaluate a market by either reading and listening to a lot of content or by providing some sort of value to someone who already has that knowledge.

To determine the quality of a property requires to evaluate all of its return as well as potential return.  

I think it will prove to be especially important as I evaluate possible properties in the future.

One particular point can not be over emphasized; even if someone has and is willing to invest the capital in attempting to build or scale their business or investments, they still May fail if they do not possess or can not evaluate those who CLAIM to possess the necessary expertise required for scaling. 

This includes trips to properties for evaluations, trips to Home Depot, etc. 

You can evaluate the additional cost and payback time as if you were paying for heat to get a handle on it but the jump to most efficient is probably not worth it in your situation.

Just like when evaluating a potential purchase you should be performing the same due diligence with rents.

I never go off of a flat percentage on anything, I analyze the costs to get to a specific return I target and analyze the risk that is involved. 70% may be an initial metric to see if it is even worth pursuing, but every deal should be evaluated independently based on costs, time and risk involved.

Other than just going in and looking at what's on Redfin.com and using the tools on here to evaluate a deal, is there anything else I can do on here?

Hi, Not yet, what are the pros and cons bout this?
