When you're first starting, I recommend running analysis on at least 100 deals.

In my experience, cash flow is key, especially for long-term holds, so running a detailed DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) analysis might be a good step here.On the flip side, if you're eyeing faster returns, a flip might be more lucrative.

I think a bigger reset is coming in the coming 3-6 months, so i would be extra picky in my deal analysis.

1) Don't fall into analysis paralysis, theres a ton of ways to invest in Real Estate, pick one and go.2) Take action.

Quote from @Robert Frazier: Quote from @Austin Wolff: During my day job of Market Analysis here at BiggerPockets, Boise, ID consistently comes up as one of the best markets for real estate investors.

I did the analysis on STR as well and it didn't seem profitable.

In that case, you'll strongly want to consider what putting personal-use property inside of an otherwise business-use LLC would do to the liability shield, as well as insurance and tax reporting.There are several considerations that can go into the analysis of whether you need an LLC or whether a large insurance policy will suffice.

The investors would be advised to pool together some capital to retain the services of an experienced securities law firm to do an analysis of whether they have cause for complain, cause for lawsuit, and reasonable chance of collection.

If we made a mistake it was not utilizing our mentor even more.Deal analysis is something like this:Deal 1  sold this week at auction for a loss, probably a $4,500 loss, this is in my profit calculation.Deal 2 Bought for 20k sold for 45 with 10k down and 35k financed for 8 years at 8%  I counted this as a 45k asset but probably should have only counted it as 35 since the 10k has been reinvested and is reflected in other assets.Deal 3, bought for 10k and foreclosed on a non performing borrower, we will be all in for under 20k, and should sell for @ 45k, maybe more if we do owner financing.
