Also, I would analyze the properties you can afford and see what the cash flow (or other financial metrics you want to use) is after the first year or two. 

I'm looking for fellow commercial professionals who have utilized any specific calculators/software to analyze commercial deals.

The huge demand for medical laboratory commercial space in the Greater Boston region is astounding.I'm looking for fellow commercial professionals who have utilized any specific calculators/software to analyze commercial deals.I'm not simply looking at a snapshot of the present rent and dividing it by the purchase price although this is better than nothing, It is not sufficiently sophisticated for me to make smart decisions as to which properties to purchase.I'm looking for a tool tool that can quickly take all factors into account such as mortgage interest and depreciation allowances to work out the true effect of our returns.I know it's impossible to expect any piece of software to give me a green or red light with regard to property acquisition.And realize a deal is good depending largely on the circumstances of the investor.

I would analyze some properties that you could afford if you did a 1031 and if you had to pay taxes on that money.  

Only use rental analyzers to get an idea of things, then lean heavy on your realtor do get actual rental data from similar units or that unit specifically you're looking at.

Personally, I would pass and keep looking and analyzing.  

I would love to hear some general & personal advice on analyzing a multi family property.
