@Brandon Turner will tell anyone new to the game to "analyze 100 deals" as a good starting point.Here is the breakdown of my spreadsheet on the BP Blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...I use this spreadsheet as a preliminary evaluation tool. 

Andrew is a machine when it comes to analyzing, and even he shares your frustration with analyzing.

Why does the deal machine app not work?

This game is all about follow up.

I think the best way to continue valuation is to add revenue and expenses from the house as if it were a rental and then add in all expenses, that way you get a full P&L picture and it negates the weird game the seller's trying to play with the expenses.

So if your looking to fix and flip $100k is more than enough to get in the game on Long Island.

I once got a deal under contract, and found it had foundation issues (we had a foundation machine on hand).

I am an investor that is very new to the RE game and lives in Walden, NY. 

I'm new to the real estate game, and I'm making a hard pivot in my financial strategy on where to allocate my money.

Last December I got into the Multifamily game, we have been underwriting deals from 10-100+ units.
