Hi all, Does anyone have an easy metric or calc to analyze whether an Association's reserves are sufficent?

But maybe this angle sheds some light...Recently sat down with a RE Attorney who brought up some key things when I was (over/under)analyzing a deal in the works.

I have been practicing analyzing some buy and hold deals in my area and came across this one that seems like a pretty good deal on a duplex.

but rather analyzing the total deal from after-repair-value backwards.

I'd personally forget about both of those rules if you are at the point of analyzing an actual potential buy.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/14/the-2-percent-rule/But regardless of the helpfulness of those rules, I hate those rules.

Do you feel comfortable giving us the address so we can analyze the deal for you?
