I have a deal that looks really good on even my worst case calculations with the BP analyzer.

@Matthew Irish-JonesThank you, what do you think about short term rentals and analyzing them?

@Rosa LeporeNewer investor that has been digging deep and analyzing the Tampa, St.

I'm analyzing deals and looking for some input from other investors: In a scenario where you are comparing 2 duplexes in different areas which would you prefer to purchase and why?

I'm new to RE and I'm interested to buy property for long-term hold & keep with cash-flow in mind.The issue is I don't have time nor expertise to analyze properties across the country and determine which can cash-flow.I don't mind compensating an experienced manager to do this work + help manage the property.

So far I have found myself analyzing more SFRs as opposed to multifamily just because there are only so many good multifamily deals out there.

The identical duplex across the street getting $400 a month in rent more is worth more money... so comps need to be further analyzed.

I have been spending 20+ hours a week reading, listening to real estate podcasts, practicing analyzing deals.

I have been analyzing deals of duplex's that have sold in the NE/SE area and am not seeing a way to get close to breaking even on the mortgage cost let alone taxes, repairs ect while occupying one of the units.I will be looking into an FHA loan, so hopefully that means I would only need 3.5% down.
