At the end of the day, the accretion to wealth is still present. 

I'm focused on building up the down payment now and trying to identify a good market(s) to invest in at the moment.

Which market is the best?"

I would love to talk to someone that has experience on this market and could tell me a bit more about it. 

I'm glad to hear ou say "invest in my local market".

So my question is, where can I find analysis tools or spreadsheets that I can use to work out the numbers and put together a formal/semi-official/convincing package to present to the prospective investors?  

That’s only position I actually presented.  

The local agent that was present at the beginning of the project had gone completely silent.
