I am confident in my ability to analyze a deal and hold out for good deals...just trying to accelerate my timeline by utilizing the built up equity that I already have. 

I'm currently analyzing (hopefully not analysis paralysis) on whether its beneficial to finish the basement in the rental property I'm purchasing.

Make sure you're educated, you're analyzing deals, you have an agent, etc.

Yesterday the underwriter saw that the appraisal mentioned basement walls were wet so they are demanding a qualified person to analyze the basement.

They should have tools and knowledge on how to analyze the performance and potential of a property.5.

I do my due diligence and analyze as many properties as possible when they come up in the MLS for over a month now.

Hey @Sandy Pathak the first steps I would recommend as a new investor is to get a handle on analyzing the income, expenses and ROI of these properties in Bridgeport.You can use the Bigger Pockets calculators to start.

The property details are:- Duplex in 95677 Zip Code- 3bed/2bath each side- Not a fixer upper, but not a gem eitherI am looking for advice and guidance on: how to analyze & figure out what my max price will be, negotiation tactics for off market deals, ANY and ALL other advice for off market deals or house hacking!!

Let's analyze the numbers.

I am quite new to analyzing myself!
