, you have put me on the right track with very clear and concise observations to think about while evaluating my market.  

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

3️⃣ How do you evaluate whether a deal is worth taking a piece of instead of owning outright?

– Considering Class A properties with established tenants• Less focus on appreciation – Prioritizing income stability over potential future gains Current Opportunity: I’m evaluating a retail property in downtown Portland with:• >80% occupancy, most tenants in place for 10+ years• Decent cap rate (6-7%), NNN lease• Well-maintained, high-quality building, with existing HOA which will take care of maintenance. 

If they're evaluating other properties and you have a good social presence that gives them peace of mind and a good sense that they'll have a nice living experience, that could be the tipping point if they're considering a similar property. 

It's important to take the time to evaluate the goals and seek professional advice to ensure the right fit.

Build a big list of evaluation ratios etc. 

With most auctions the buyer cannot get into the property and evaluate its condition.

However, one tenant isn’t paying rent, and it looks like I might have to go through the eviction process.When evaluating a rental property, do you typically use the 1% rule?

Start to evaluate deals based on the income approach and you'll do much better long term investing.
