Hi Rene,I typically focus on cap rates rather than just cash flow numbers when evaluating properties.

Step-by-Step Process for Evaluating a Flip:Find the Deal: Use platforms like MLS, foreclosure auctions, or network with wholesalers.Run the Numbers: The 70% Rule is a good starting point.

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

However, I always have to ask myself what decision do I make today if I am evaluating the consequences 2-5 years from now. 

These numbers on their access to the MLS will give you the best evaluation to what you can sell it for once you are done.

I’m currently evaluating whether to go with a Fund Model instead of a traditional JV for an upcoming multifamily project, I will be working as a developer looking to do work with a more experienced developer on a larger scale multi-family opportunity.

Consistency of your evaluation criteria is key for staying out of trouble.

I do not know enough or want to look into it.I will take this another direction though - should they actually rebuild those homes or should they re-evaluate the area and implement a plan to properly zone and master plan those areas to avoid this in the future.

Something to definitely consider evaluating more.

It’s understandable why so many investors focus on cash flow when evaluating real estate.
