I do know I am ahead of myself, but I am trying to ensure that I do not put myself in a bad position to dive deeper into real estate investing by financing my first home incorrectly.  

I then decided to take a quick walkthrough of the property and now im trying to analyze it deeper.

I know where I stand and will delve into more detail if it is warranted.

All this together will let me know if a deeper look is warranted.The danger occurs when you mechanically start applying the "y% rule" without a solid understanding of the underlaying fundamentals.

Hello All,I've almost been getting more and more confused the deeper I go into the self directed Solo 401k/IRA information.I have 3 accounts from my past employment that include a 401k, a Safe Harbor IRA, and money in a regular brokerage account that was a employee stock purchase plan.

For buy & hold investors if you use CoCR what % gets you to take action and look at things deeper?

Start digging deeper into the numbers.Once you find a Realtor have them run a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to establish a good ARV/Fair Market Value for the property.Is $179K the asking price?  

Sometimes we find problems with properties as we dig deeper into them.  

This is a deeper reflection of that type of person never taking accountability for anything.Wants to sue everybody for....everything.

Before I dive into this deeper, I wanted to get a honest opinion from fellow investors.A beautiful piece of land (1acre) just popped up on the market for below market value in the cottage country in Northern Ontario.
