@Darren Crawford  No issues that I know of, I just think that is an important step to evaluate the risk. 

You forgot the most critical detail when evaluating a property you want for cash flow...what will it rent for?

I use a scoring system to evaluate each tenant.  

I assume building the criteria for evaluating what is a good deal, for me, is my next step. 

How can you begin to evaluate deals without this piece of information?

So I'm doing most of the research, evaluation, process, etc...

Spending a lot of time running numbers and wanted input from the community on what key metrics are being used to evaluate a property quickly so it either gets a deeper dive or it is scratched from the list.  

If you want to get into rental property investing, you need to learn how to evaluate whether or not a potential rental property is a good investment.

I would evaluate it compared to how much it should save you compared to your current living conditions.

For example, if someone tells me they want 150k for their house, and I say, highest I can go is 120K, that seems like I am directly telling them that their evaluation is wrong, which makes them emotional and you'll rarely win in that scenario.
