Hi, AllI am practicing analyzing MF deals in small cities in Georgia, such as Columbus, Macon, Griffin, etc..

I have been doing my research and running everything I can find through the BP calculators to analyze deals. 

Now with time and rent growth, what could be a negative cash flow property might very well become a cash flow king, but that takes patience.Another way to increase cash flow would be renting out rooms in the unit you live in, either Airbnb or longer term.When I’m analyzing the numbers on a house hack I go through this progression.

To check my understanding, you're saying that to be a good scout all I need to do is analyze deals as if I were going to buy them, find the ones I would buy, then flip those deals to other investors straightaway.

What is the best way to analyze a multi family purchase when It is going to be owner occupied for the 1st year or two?

If you bring a bad deal that's not the end of the world, they will understand you are new and help you learn how to better analyze deals.

I have also been making it an effort to analyze 1-2 properties a day via the rental calulcator from BiggerPockets.

I believe I am analyzing the properties well, but I am just concerned that I might be missing something.Thank you to all who take the time to reply.Regards,Kevin
