I've been researching, reading and networking for the past 6 months  Using sites such as "Redfin, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, Etc. to find properties and using the BP calculator to analyze properties, (goal is to analyze 100 properties by the end of the first quarter in order to truly understand how to analyze properties and cashflow).

I've been networking with agents and property managers; looking at listings and analyzing the costs and projected incomes.  

When analyzing a deal to buy as a rental, the main question to ask yourself, are you looking for long-term equity growth or month-to-month cash flow. 

My suggestion is to educate yourself on how to analyze markets.

@Kevin Wei Get good analyzing deals.

I have been trying to just look at listings for rent and compare deals I find to those and analyze them using what those landlords are charging, but I was wondering if maybe there is a site or platform I can use to educate myself so I can make realistic estimates on deals I analyze.

What I want to learn more about is what investors that typically look to pay cash or use hard money for their properties are taking closer looks at when analyzing deals.
