I do a lot of data analytics currently and am really proficient at interacting with big data so I wanted to bring those skills to find deals, hence the name of the post: Data-Driven Deal Discovery.Getting the Data: So where I looped my skills in was with the Philadelphia Properties database.

Recently, I have realized my strengths are more on the analytical side and I would like to transition to a role that will allow me to do work utilizing my strengths, and learn skills that will help me with multifamily investing.

I'm very analytical and try to keep track of things financially in spreadsheet form to know how out investments are going. 

I'm a highly analytical numbers guy so I see my strengths being complemented by a partner focused on building key relationships.I apologize in advance for the naive newbie intro -- I'm proud to get my first post out there and excited for what's to come!

In a previous post you wrote; "I think that most of the analytics that are tossed around on this site are worthless and should be taken behind the barn." and now you're telling us that "Cashflow is the most misunderstood term."

I have been doing all the market analytics, running spread sheets, cash flow calculators, etc.

-We want to get started as soon as possible, but we are both patient and analytical people who wont rush a decision. 

I work in Project Controls for a large industrial EPC firm, where I specialize in process improvement, data analytics and reporting visuals.
