When I was in the Timber bizz here in Oregon we had a few logging sites that got protested.

Now that I know a bit better on how to evaluate a deal, some of my first ones are not that bad.

Every property must be individually evaluated.

I agree with taking it slow, considering all angles and not committing to anything until all avenues have been evaluated/ analyzed.  

I'm evaluating a few properties on loopnet and some offer market deals, some of them a few hours away from where i live.

My strategy clearly needed to be re-evaluated.

There's a lot of steps in the process.If D4D is too much work for you, you may want to re-evaluate whether you're firmly committed to becoming a real estate investor and have adequate resources in order to do so.Best of luck.

You need three types of knowledgeThe strategies - easy to learn and you get a ton of it here on BPHow to evaluate deals - You can also learn the formulas here on BPYour local market#3 is what you are asking about.

I saw a post recommending each be evaluated independently and if losing money or high maintenance, I may want to off load. 

Here in CO you have less than two days to evaluate properties.
