@Jaysen Medhurst I agree, I am still in the education phase and finding and analyzing good deals is a challenge for me.

When you start analyzing MSA’s, and sub markets of course these will be different across the nation, which is why focusing on certain markets will be key.  

Hello BP Community,Anytime I am analyzing a potential investment property, the 1% rule lingers in the back of my mind and makes me hesitant about pulling the trigger on a deal.

Lastly, I scan the MLS daily and analyze potential deals that fit my criteria.I hope to use the systems that I’ve developed to help bring deals in an appreciating market to those that are outside the local area.

After running the numbers; 15% down payment, rehab, holding cost, selling cost, etc I would be out of pocket around $110k plus mortgage amount (rehab being a vast majority of that).

I know how to avoid glaring structural and mechanical issues, if I don't see any I analyze the property to see if the numbers work.
