Record this information and analyze it.

Brandon recommends analyzing 3 deals a day.

I heard Brandon say that when dealing with an owner occupied duplex you should analyze it as if you renting out both units even if you're actually living in one of the units.

But as well, the argument does have it's logic, and I've been analyzing that option.

@Adam Camacho I just ran the numbers for a house hacking scenario using BP deal analyzer.

Hello Experts,I am doing REI for the last 3+ years and analyzed many offerings from different turnkey providers and noticed the following:1) Providers are selling properties above market value; charging a premium ($10-$15k more)2) Neighborhoods are at most B- or C or D3) Numbers are not really working; -ve cash flow or less than $100 cash flow if you add 5% vacancy + 5% maintenance.

@Jessica Gettle you might want to us PB deal analyzer to create a box and look for properties that fit into that box based on either cash flow or negative flow. 

This is an easy answer for me, since in a way, I start over on a regular basis.If I had nothing, and this includes no knowledge, I would start by:1 - learning: A - How money works, B - How to analyze markets (as in zipcodes), and how to then find Micro-Markets2 - Then, I would develop a plan of investing based on the two Core Knowledge Bases above.3 - Next, I find my money, as in cash partners and credit partners, all to be implemented on a project by project basis.4 - Now, I camp out in the market(s) I found in step 1, and invest following the plan I developed in Step 2

Between the two of us we have an engineering and a medical background, so we love to analyze the numbers!
