In other words, if I expect to spend $5,000 to replace a roof every 20 years, can I use DCF analysis rather than simply dividing $5,000 by 20 years and using this as my annual allowance for replacement?

My background is in financial analysis and accounting.

At this point if I can eat from real estate I will be happy ... before I am thinking of making the "big bucks"or thinking I'm some sort of "analysis or numbers prodigy."

And while those guys are busy doing their analysis and making offers on those "hot" properties, I'm focusing on the others.

Sundeep,We seem to be kindred spirits of sorts, as I have been through the same analysis over the last couple of years, not to mention we both live in the best place on earth!

Hi Guys,

I came across this deal that I'm interested in and would appreciate your feedback as I've never owned a mobile home park before.

Details:

Mobile Home Park
Year Built - 19...

Since I handle the analysis of 15-30 properties for my company right now anyways, I would be able to provide a bit more of an advanced level of assistance and analysis than most beginners.Any help or advice from this forum I welcome wholeheartedly, and am looking to take this plunge sometime this year.

I am actually losing money.Can some one let me know if I am correct with my analysis or If I am missing something?

I'm in the process of trying to get out of analysis paralysis and actually jump in to some house flipping.

He came back home with all the information he needed to make his analysis of the property.
