If you want to be in this game for the long profitable haul you need to make sure your properties align with your numbers, otherwise when the market hits a snag you may not be able to come out of the trenches in one piece.I remember when my husband and I went to bid at our first auction sale (we had attended several auctions before to get a feel of the atmosphere) I had an excel sheet for the property I was interested in and detailed profit/loss for every $5k increment of bid.

Likely a small SFR for my brother to live in while at college just to get a feel for the buying and PM process.
