At this moment, I'm expecting to be able to obtain it for around $140k and the market analysis shows that it'll appraise for around $200k. 

When I do my analysis, I know that if the sales prices are around $200k that I can contract any house that was last bought for $80k or less and it will have equity.

Hello,I’m currently investing in some units in the village of Sagres (Algarve) and prior to this process, I’ve done a market analysis for the short term rental market, which I have in mind for my properties.

While this analysis is certainly important, investors in metro areas cannot ignore the upfront time and money required to get an STR up and running.In analyzing a potential STR investment in a metro area, include these estimates as upfront costs (these are strictly furnishing expenses, not including any rehab work):- Living Room: $2k⠀⠀- Dining Room: $700⠀- Kitchen: $750⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- Bedroom: $1.5k⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- Bathroom: $300⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You can certainly furnish a STR for more or less, but these are numbers I try to stick to in putting together a nicely furnished rental that includes personal touches and local flair.If you have any questions about STR investing, please don't hesitate to reach out!

For this stage of the journey you often need a guide.

Hi all! I havent posted in awhile due to rehabs, but I have had the opportunity lately to settle and start picking up more property. Another landlord in the area wants to sell all 7 of his properties, for 16 more unit...

With that said if you want a macro analysis of those area- The median sold price in North Aurora and Elgin have gone up over 14% over the past year.

To start out, I am analyzing these areas for property analysis. 

I'm a newby and I'm trudging through paralysis by analysis.

When you've nailed your locations and found the (potential) properties, dig deep into the ideas that you have - Look at long/short term rent prices in those areas (competitor analysis), try to get some numbers about tourism to see whether an AirBNB even pays off (customer analysis), make sure there are reliable management companies around, how those properties could be financed, etc.3.
