These are good rule of thumbs to follow while analyzing deals. 

Those deals that do not follow your criteria, are what I call "shiny objects of distraction".Having said that, that doesn't mean you can't have more than one set of criteria, and you should, simply because you should have more than one exit strategy that you analyze every property for.  

First, analyze what your debts are.

From there try to analyze as many properties as you can so you know a good deal when you find one.  

Bigger pockets property analyzer is telling me rent for this area is averaging $1200/month.

@Anthony VigilanteHi Anthony, I have analyzed a good amount of properties in Jersey.

Hello,
I am a first time investor that is very brand new to RE investing. I am a DACA recipient doing a conventional 20% down owner occupied loan to house hack a fourplex. These are the closing cost I received from...

So, I have been analyzing "Deals" from wholesalers/MLS/fb groups but so far none of the numbers even come close to the 1% rule or the 70%ARV rule that everyone talks about.
