I realize that this habit is certainly popular right now though. 

In analyzing my portfolio this weekend, I identified a few things that surprised me. 

More commonly the popular method for water is Rubs per occupant since people use water and not sqft.

When analyzing a rental and trying to calculate cash flow, how do you estimate utilities and expenses?

Continue to network and get educated on the processes necessary to be successful (analyze deals, make offers on deals, screening tenants, managing properties).

I was getting overwhelmed by looking at so many different markets so I started reading online about different places that were popular for investing and I found Ohio and Georgia were mentioned a few different times. 

I analyze for a minimum of $100/door positive cash flow (after vacancy, repairs, reserves, PM, taxes, insurance, mortgage). 

I have the meet up app but was wondering what other platforms I can use to find popular real estate networking events in Southern California preferable close to orange or LA county.

While you build your team, start/continue analyzing deals and figure out what kind of house hack you'd like to do.

That's the way to analyze a market.
