Now, there IS such a thing as "analysis paralysis," or fearing to pull the trigger although you have all the useful information on a property.

@Brian Ellis thanks for sharing, especially the details. 

Just keep in mind that often the names they use may be different than what local operators use.I also like the HUD comprehensive housing analysis reports.

@Steven Steward we would need more details to know which is the better strategy.

He has already received a letter from the bank detailing his options.I see.

I think you are pretty spot on with your analysis though as far as what to allocate to certain expenses and what not. 

Every acquisition will be considered as to how it affects EBITDA, With that said, there is no easy answer to your question, a true quantitative and qualitative analysis will look at these metrics all the way down to the region and tax advantages of the area in which your company is held.Maybe you can be a little more specific on your question.

However, everything else about this property lines up very well, and I want to pull the trigger or move on asap, since I've already analyzed it forwards and backwards.Here are the details:625k PPcurrent monthly income $5,600, annual income after expenses (utilities, taxes, maintenance, repairs) is 46k, which would cash flow after debt service, but not a ton.However.

I guess the only other detail we don't know that may be important is how much down payment they're requiring of you.I'm of the opposite mindset. 

Again, thanks ton on the insight and detailed response.
