I would say you have put a lot of work into your analysis.

@Torey Chumbley  I just ran an analysis on some property with LOTS of datapoints that AirDNA could access.

Here are my ideas for places to invest, based on my market analysis.

That was just an example, but has anyone found any decent rules-of-thumb for this that I can use for the initial analysis?

Doing a rent analysis on a few of them, I realized they could potentially be a decent start in REI.

Great analysis @Nathan Milholin.

Lots of people will try to talk you into that market… (mostly realtors from that area) from my own initial analysis into Cleveland, the population of the city has been declining every year for the last 50 years and has over 35% of the population under the poverty line.

I tried searching up these key words but couldn't find much of a straight answer... if any BP members have 'owner pays' properties how do you/did you do the pros and cons analysis? 

You just have to make sure you are confident in your analysis and have reserves for the investment to ensure you don’t put your primary residence at risk. 

The reason for the analysis is to compare purchasing a SFR vs an owner-occupied duplex, both with conventional financing 80% and 85% leverage, respectively.I'm having a couple of difficulties in this analysis and wanted to see how most members here tackle some of these questions: I have seen some posters on here note that you should underwrite the duplex as an investment property with both units rented, however, I am having a bit of trouble wrapping this around my head, because I am in fact comparing an SFR to an owner-occupied duplex and not other investment properties, how have some of you approached this and underwriting to an NOI?
