Perfect thank youand when you look at the pros and cons it says Property Analysis Software1 TestLimitedFullWhat are they saying by Limited?

I live in Florida and am curious if there is a general rule of thumb percentage wise in estimating your closing costs for buying as a quick reference for analysis.

It will cost you more but you will get the house you want. run a cost analysis between doing it that way and using an investor like the one Arlan suggested.

I spent some time creating a sheet that has the actual numbers (not pro-forma) and does a cashflow and IRR analysis both pre and post tax.

., Well I used the analysis tools here on the site.

For what it's worth, I tour and underwrite 100s of large multifamily properties around the country each year.99.9% of the time, I use the 50% rule for my initial back-of-the-envelope analysis to see if the property warrants more time and investigation.Sure, it's not an exact science and if you have time to run numbers and investigate every deal great, but these guidelines were created by (and for) people who have to make very quick decisions on whether or not a property is worth further investigation.And funny enough, the company I work for owns over 45 large multifamily properties (~9,000 units).  

I've never done any sort of market analysis or know where to go to find job growth/population data. 

hello everyone!!! I'm a college student trying to understand the front door and back door approach theory and how to calculate them. I am a baby in this. If you can help me please explain things to me as simply as you...

I want my analysis spreadsheet to spit out all numbers so it works for anyone trying to analyze the deal quickly.I know there are a million sites and spreadsheets that already do this, but I have to create something myself to get a good understanding on how the numbers actually work :-)Just curious if people ran this particular shortcut against gross or net rents.

Good to be on the conservative side and allow for that in your analysis but people, especially with families tend to stay longer in well-maintained SFRs with good management, as opposed to a single person living in a 1 BR apt. who moves because of a bit better deal in another building.
