There's definitely some analysis paralysis going on..

In fact, most of what I hear is that tax benefits should just be viewed as extra benefits, not the determining factor in a deal analysis.

Invite a property manager in the area for their analysis of the address.

Here is a good post by someone bombarded with "will you sell" emails, calls, texts and letters. 

The analysis is actually the easy part.

Do the following, go to assessor's website of county you live in, locate GIS data organizing properties by number of units, download excel spreadsheet of addresses/owner info, import into google maps using site such as batchgeo, drive by and identify 15-30 properties you're interested in, skip trace owners to find current address, text/email/call owners, be consistent & do this every 1-2 weeks, you find a property in 1-3 months. 

They are often generated by agents doing CMAs, comparative market analysis, which is a method to compare properties to guestimate what the fair market value is.Fair market value is the value at which someone will buy the property within a reasonable time.

I called yesterday, but received a text today from a different number saying they were with a different company (Fantastic Restorations), apologizing for missing my call yesterday.

I want to be sure the analysis is disconnected from appreciation.

I used Four Square analysis and it looks like I could cash flow right around $200/month.
