Hi BP, Im analyzing a rental property using the rental property calculator, The ROI 17% and cashflow came out $250 for a property asking price of 69,000. everything looks fantastic, but I see the property was sold in Dec 2019 for $38,000 and it was sold again in March 2020 for $20,000 ( checked on zillow,  source: public record)Are these red flags ?

Use the BP Calculators to start analyzing deals (Get set up with MLSs from a local buyers RE agent, who is also an investor)Hope this helps!

Analyze, analyze, analyze.

I've been analyzing listings in the UT county area, from Lehi to Spanish Fork.
