When you’re evaluating a potential deal, what are the key metrics or calculations you always focus on?

This is a rather interesting scenario I evaluated a few months ago.

These approaches consider how the capital has grown or shrunk over time, providing a more accurate reflection of actual performance.For instance, the CAGR in this case would be negative, as it accounts for the overall movement of the investment from $100 to $50 over the two-year period, indicating a loss.If you'd like further clarification or assistance in understanding other metrics for evaluating investments, feel free to ask!

I’d think with how active you are in the community and potentially business maybe you’d have the ability to critically evaluate there’s a true possibility you are being too critical on something you know nothing about. 

Sure, there are going to be people who fail but if you truly try and make your best effort and do your own due diligence by evaluating these properties, inspection, ARV, etc. and really learning the strategy of both BRRR and turnkey fix and flip, it will work.You need to build a strong and trustworthy team on the ground.People nowadays quit the second something gets hard.

Anyway, I just felt like elaborating and to emphasize that you have to evaluate someone’s situation thoroughly, and of the financial products and services available I would not label anything in particular outright bad, it just may not be appropriate or as useful depending on the context of the situation. 

John- the option I’m evaluating right now is to create new LLCs as single member LLC in my state and owned by a multi member LLC (my partner both at 50/50).  

Once you know the answers to the questions above, you can better evaluate bids you receive.

Thank you I would always refer people to trusted sources like @Brian Burke , who have a good reputation and while they have their own products to sell can help evaluate the claims made by another fund.

Paying too much initially can significantly impact overall returns, emphasizing the need for thorough due diligence and possibly more stringent financial analysis before purchasing.For future investments, consider leveraging local market knowledge further and refining your property evaluation techniques.
