BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

Focusing on markets with stable property values or less exposure to national trends can also help.

In addition, I'll shoot this thread over to the investor who originally reached out to me seeking help for the money he loaned out to him.

Thanks for your help!

Let us know if we can help in your journey anymore!

Very helpful..

Had cloud on title as suspected, helped run title myself, sold within a month of offer.

Anything helps. 

To be honest its mostly not for self managers (though I am open to it) - the target is mostly for small PM's looking for help to scale. 

I would need to use it as a STR part of the time to help cover the costs and for tax purposes, but I'm not really looking forward to "operating a STR business" and don't need a lot of extra cash flow (I have W2 job that I truly enjoy).
