Analyze the local safety, political, and economic circumstances and get a feel of long term general development.

I always like to analyze the opportunity cost of doing a deal.

I've never been able to find one I like, so I just designed one for the way I like to analyze.  

Hello BP nation!I am working on a deal for my first rental property right now. Please help take a look if the numbers make sense. This is a SFH deal. Offer Price: $110,000LTV 75% with 4.75% interest.Amount I put down:...

So start with them and make your deals.third....analyze the numbers for what you intend to do with it using the real numbers (Zillow is great for a number of things, but NOT their Zestimate.  

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

Erik,If you are looking for some help analyzing a deal, you should do a bit of research on the subject property and the comps in the market. 

I am wondering how you would analyze this investment.

So if I bothered analyzing it they got an offer regardless of how low it might have been.Now a lot of those <40% list offers didn't seem like they would go any place until someone countered back at ~60% list and we settled out a little over 50%. 

When analyzing markets do you pick a place you think maybe a good cash flowing market or do you find the location from researching more broad?
