When I analyzed deals where I thought of using nothing down (have not actually done any that way yet) I would put in at least 10% down to help get a better feel for things.An example would be a 100K property that might make 10K per year between cash flow, loan paydown and appreciation.

I'm still narrowing down my range of what exactly I'm looking for, and using Loopnet and the financial information provided in some listings to get more insight into the numbers and how to analyze them.

Hi All,I was analyzing a property(condo with HOA of $150), where I see the county is valuing the property at $39000.

Essentially the 1% rule is a way to quickly funnel and help analyze deals.

Hello BP,I'm analyzing properties that come to my inbox, and I want to view the properties to get a better feel for the rehab.It would also be beneficial if I had 3-4 GC's that would be willing to come out and give a good estimate of costs.So does anyone have a good team, or a good GCthat they could recommend.

Right now my goals are to continue to learn as much as I can on REI, but I need to take the next step and start analyzing properties and making offers on them.

I'm interested in Buy & Hold and BRRRR particularly for duplexes or multiplexes and was just checking around on Realtor and Zillow for starters to practice deal analyzing... seems like, at least for duplexes, there might be some pretty decent deals to be had.

If you buy a property and are thinking in the back of your mind that it is very high risk and you could lose it all then I don't think you analyzed the property very well before you purchased.

This week we got the info on the property, and this weekend I will be using a couple of the tools on this site to analyze the property. 

That said, I still analyze and make sure each of my deals (...in Fort Wayne) work using the 50% rule even though I know they'll perform better than this.Always better to be pleasantly surprised than sorely disappointed.
