All these software will guide you on your declaration asking you basic questions to determine what you need to do and what not. 

i'm would appreciate the communities perspective and input on the following question below.Property Criteria; House hacking duplex or triplex Purchase price: 260k - 310kEquity or Cashflow deal ?

Off of the purchase contract, I would verify proof of funds, ask for prequalification letter from a lender if buyer is receiving a loan, with a good faith deposit.

After 45 + years investing in, purchasing and selling notes and real property; structuring “deals”, running investment funds and syndications, I have observed that many (most) investors both hesitate too long gathering too much information before making an offer AND do not do enough investigation, analysis and due diligence before they finalize a purchase.Seems like opposites, right?  

Looking for any feedback as this is my first purchase.

I am a Dan Diego RE investor and most of my purchases were easy to see that they would make money.  

Background:Miami-Dade Condo property.I am a first-time seller.No mortgages or loans on my property.Standard Florida Realtors Association / Florida Bar AS IS Purchase Contract.Buyer in default on various provisions and must proceed to purchase as a cash purchase, per contract, so there should be no financing related title charge son my end.Contract only lists the following seller/closing/title fees:A.Documentary stamp taxes and surtax on deed, if anyB. 

. -  After purchasing a home for what I feel was to much I am trying to determine the best route.

Purchase price: $290,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Sale price: $478,500 Rancher/rambler of 2,150SF at the heart of Bel Air, MD.

Instantly I can tell the hottest markets from the normal and cold ones, and separately determine which one's I am priced out of due to crazy high values.I'd suggest a similar value-based approach if you have the data to calculate on to identify a few markets to start looking for deals in, but remember this is still too broad of analysis to make a go/no-go decision on the projects you find.
