It will be my primary residence for about 1-2 yrs until I buy the next one therefore I am analyzing it as a rental.

I tend to think more investors would choose Moody Analytics over census to analyze investments but to each his own no probs.

Base on this data available utilize business intelligent tools to analyze key metrics to identify the value of the house and identify if will be good investment.

List first, properties next, just fill orders.Why would you go through all the trouble to find, analyze, offer, get offer accepted, EMD in, only to find you can't get rid of the property before the closing date, and you lose your EMD money.  

I'm having trouble finding something in my area that analyzes appropriately as a "good deal" unless I include the rent for the unit I'd be occupying myself in the income ("paying myself").

Looking for videos and or seminars/education materials/downloads to help me better analyze deals, learn what to look for, and look out for, ect ect - In Los Angeles area btw.

I would like to know is there a formula for analyzing a franchise for resale?

Hi @Ben Bakhshi How do you analyze these properties i.e. what process do you follow? 

If you don't know where your want to be, how will you be able to figure out a plan to get there...and how will you be able to analyze if that plan is what you need and if it's doable?

They will buy these in their back yard analyze them in the internet and go on with their lives with checks in the mail secured by Real Estate at 6%-10%.
