Avery Carl , are there benchmarks to look for in terms of Cash on cash return, cap rate & total annual cash flow?

I'd recommend running the numbers on her current home as a rental and bench-marking the return on it relative to other rental properties or investment alternatives to determine if it is a good investment

I have familiarized myself with the numbers you mentioned (COC, NOI and CAP), now I just have to figure out what I think would be good benchmarks for me. 

Again, couldn’t agree more that the rentalyzer isn’t carved in Stone accuracy, but so far we’ve been able to beat the rentalyzer metrics by at least a 20% standard deviation on all of our listings, so it’s a great benchmark for us.

So I decided to use it as a benchmark.

But you’ve set some benchmarks in terms of reserves that I will certainly be aiming for.

@Bryan WegmanStrictly based on the current interest rate environment and the rising 10 year US benchmark rate, the 30 year fixed option may prove to be more beneficial than the 5/1 option.

But is there a bench mark that expereinced and successful investors make?

States have laws concerning equity held by an installment buyer, seems 10% is a bench mark.

If it passes, then you can delve further into your investigations on the property, but if it fails, you may not want to waste your time.It's just a fast benchmark to gauge if a property is worth your time to begin with.
