Focus on the people and internal things that make you want to move forward.

Understand your approach, but at the end of the day (assuming we're discussing analysis in support of a BUY vs WALK decision), in my opinion, IRR(Internal Rate of Return) is too academic and the NPV(Net Present Value) has factors one can adjust.We see lots of newbies just learning to calc cash/cash & cap rates and these are sufficient to make the go/no decision, using the K.I.S.S principle.Attempting to add IRR & NPV to the learning curve is not a requirement - - for you, it's another confirmation you're on the right track.
