How do you analyze your properties?

How can I quickly estimate a general ARV when I am looking at properties to know if it's worth divining in and analyzing further ?

I don’t need an agent I just need a mentor, someone who can encourage, warn, help analyze etc.

In general I prefer Leander over Pflugerville but I think you would need to analyze the 2 homes based on their specific area and run the numbers.

Hi @Megan Greathouse I've analyzed a handful of Missouri farm properties over the years with my brother in law who grew up on a farm in NE Missouri and currently rents his farm land. 

Cliff,  This is not how you analyze an investment opportunity, you need the following:1) Purchase: $575,0002) Total Annual Operating Income: $43,000 (1,200x3x12) 3) Total Annual Operating Expense:    a) % Vacancy:   b) RE Taxes Property:    c) Hazard/Insurance:   d) Repairs & Maintenance:   e) CapEx:   f) Utilities-other:   g) HOA:4) Actual Capitalization Rate:5) Loan Information   a) Down Payment: $0   b) Loan Amount: $575,000   c) Acquisition Costs and Loan Fees Rehab Funds:   d) Length of Mortgage (years):   e) Annual Interest Rate: 6) KPI's:   a) DSCR:   b) 1% rule:   c) 50% rule:   d) Cashflow (before taxes):   e) ROI:    Plug it in I'll do analysis for you.

Keep listening to the podcasts, check out the MLS to just analyze properties in your area, read some of the books offered here on BP, and I would also suggest surrounding yourself with like minded individuals.  

Really learned a lot about analyzing properties AFTER this process.
