A good PM can assist with initial analysis and either help you buy or knows someone who can help you buy.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

For properties in Central Ohio, you can access records through the Franklin County Recorder's Office, which provides a public records search tool to help you look up property details, including any liens.

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

If anyone is interested, feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to share more details! 

Best of luck,Jarret Thank you Jarret for the detailed analysis above. 

The financial analysis side of CRE really excites me.

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

Focus on one real estate strategy only, master it so you can explain the details well.
