Level 1: the "are we remotely close to offer price" analysis  Take the gross potential income and allocate 50% - 60% (exact percentage is determined by property age, amenities, and current condition) of it towards expenses Then take NOI and divide by cap rate which gives us the high-level valuation This takes 5 - 10 min to do side note: another way to do this is knowing the average expenses per unit per year for that property time in that market then allocating that towards expenses instead of the 50% - 60% Level 2: the "ok, let's get serious and specific" analysis  If after doing Level 1 it makes sense to continue then Level 2 is done In Level 2, you use property and market specific information to run your analysisSome (but not all) things to consider for the specific market/property: taxes and how they are evaluated, vacancy trends, what's currently being billed to residents vs. what could be billed to residents (i.e. water), etc.
