Multifamily deals close all the time with deal analysis that is compiled by apartment and mortgage brokers (and buyers) when the seller's records are less than stellar.  

I've had just 3 possible deals that I thought were going somewhere, but after more analysis, I had to let them go because they weren't going to work out.

Hi all, I recently upgraded my account to Pro and have been playing around with the BP Rental calculator with a particular property and was hoping to get some critiques or pointers on how I can improve my analysis...Case in point, I chose this property to analyze:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Roseville/344-Main-St-95...http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3...Link to my BP rental property report:https://bp-v-newproduction.s3.amazonaws.com/upload...How I came up with the values:- For annual property taxes ($2726) I took from the realtor.com link for 2016- For closing cost, I chose the highest suggested ($2500) - Estimated repair cost ($5000) the property looks decent, but chose $5000 figuring there will be a need to repair something.- Selected 25% at 4% interest rate, Left points charged and cap rate as blank.

First I would like to thank Bigger Pockets for a wealth of resources, and I would like to thank all the members and their valuable contributions to the community.I am a first time investor planning to buy a rental property where I currently live, Smyrna, GA 30082I found a basic rental analysis spreadsheet in one of the forum posts, and I have put the numbers in based on the property I am planning to buy.

Always do the math analysis and try to look at your prospective properties before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you the time (10 to 15 days) to make a entailed inspection of the subject property and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that hurts you too much.Do not cut any corners on your evaluations to make them look better on paper but not in reality.  

Anyone care to look at my analysis sheet and weigh in?

Square footage is a huge part of your comp analysis but so is the difference between a 2 bed and a 3 bed.

@Steven LovelessThanks for your personal analysis.  

If you feel that you're analysis is correct and you have done you're research submit your 75% of asking price offer and give reason to it. 

The bulk of my experienced in construction developing and a little bit in real estate.Math analysis and looking at your prospective properties need to be done before making an offer or have a clause in the salas contact that allows you the time (usually 10 to 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the subject property without a penalty that will hurt you too much.
