Most investors also include "vacancy" in their analysis.

If you have a relationship w/ a realtor they may be able to provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).  

I decided to pass on this deal after doing more analysis.

I try to stay pretty conservative in my analysis. 

You need to do a sell/hold analysis along with demands on your time to see what makes the most sense.

.*** The main reason this analysis identifies is that cap rate spreads over treasuries compress as interest rates rise.

I recently read an analysis of the United States federal debt.

I thought he seemed pretty up and up, but then I ordered his "Garman Analyzer for apartment andcommercial investment property analysis".

We also have a free property analysis tool (see links on the left of the forums) that you can use and store your properties, so be sure to check that out.Otherwise, can you tell us what types of properties you are going to be focused on?

There are many people who are to blame.I completely agree with the interest rate/cash flow analysis (which means that if a person gets a 5% fixed 30 year direct am now, they can watch their property values fall in half, but if the rates go to 10%, the cash flows the same.)This is an example of the decline of personal accountability in our society.
