Make sure they are investing their own money into the deal. 

I was very analysis paralysis on my first deal so I know the feeling. 

I requested copies of the income taxes for them both and it looks like this could be a pretty good deal but I'm not sure how much he spends on materials to keep them running as that was not included in his "financial report" (which was a piece of paper with number written for utilities).

I am looking for rental properties in Tampa, FL, and I am having trouble estimating expenses when analyzing deals. 

We have worked with and helped a lot of Bigger Pocket members who have found a great deal.

Another question is if I'm looking at off market deals that come to me, I would need to come up fast with the money because the property may be sent to me through other means ( realtor, wholesaler, etc) than the MLS and nobody will wait for a Conventional Loan to close 90 days out. 

If you have sat in on Ari Newman's "How to Use the Financial Calculator to Structure Better Deals" training session, what feedback can you provide?

There are definitely buyers, but they'll be looking for a deal.
