One bad tenant can ( and have) quickly destroyed a year+ worth of profit.I agree with the vast majority of what you said.

As I'm analyzing properties, I'm just making sure that my expectations are aligned with what some of you are seeing.

According to the Justice Department, RealPage’s algorithm allows landlords to align rents with their competitors by analyzing sensitive data, from renewal rates to occupancy trends.

Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.

Now, if you can benefit too then you analyze if that's worth it but if it's just the former, then stick to the original point.3.

Then I sit down with a spreadsheet and analyze all parcels for an area and generate a list of target properties right from my computer.  

But the only way to have a definitive answer and avoid "likely" and "possibly" is to analyze your plan with your own CPA and find ways to boost your hours.

After analyzing the potential ROI, we negotiated a fair price of $58,500, ensuring room for renovation costs and profit.

Here’s why I’m asking: I have an Excel model that analyzes deals for a specific region.

I'm trying to analyze my first property and not sure how to set it up to run the number using the calculator tools here. 2 of the units are successful Airbnb short term rentals, and the other two units are month to month rentals to existing tenants.
