Let me apologize in advance for this soon to be complex issue. or those of you who love crunches like this, this is for you:  I need some advice for a friend... 

I currently own a 4 unit building and just had an offer accepted for a duplex in the Long Beach area, but now I am having second thoughts after crunching the numbers. 

I am trying to crunch the numbers to find out what would be a good offer.

So assuming I average out at $150 monthly cash flow per door, I know I need about 67 units total to meet my passive cash flow goal.Obviously, you need to put a lot of time into setting your goals, getting to know your market, and then crunching some numbers.

If turns out to be a rental (which is my expectation) then I will bank the cashflow and work towards the BRRRR strategy to add another property in the near future.What I’ve been doing lately to make dreams realty:-Listened to one or two BP Podcasts a day-Spent tons of spare time on Zillow browsing properties-Identified a single family property that has real potential to be my first deal-Gotten an insurance quote and dug up tax records on the property-Talked to a couple area realtors and chosen one whose background and experience best fits my goals-Toured the property-Crunched tons of numbers based on different scenarios-Arranged a second showing for tomorrow, with a local contractor who will be joining me for the showing to provide a quote on the work that would be needed.I am super excited for tomorrow!

Looks like Colorado Springs is a good place for me to start crunching numbers.

We were just watching @Brandon Turner's podcast about evaluating multi family properties and crunched some numbers.

Hi Harsh I have a spreadsheet that will help you greatly in crunching numbers.

One of our tenants, who lived in the house for 15 years, just moved out and I finally crunched the numbers.

I follow the zillow rental listings for those houses, and they can be rented for $3.5-$4.0kEndless numbers crunching and countless spread sheets tell me land-lording my condo, and renting a SFH is not such a bad idea.
