π― HOW TO ANALYZE A DEAL IN 5 STEPS
Not all deals are created equal. Here's our proven process for evaluating every opportunity:
STEP 1: GATHER PROPERTY DATA
Address, square footage, bed/bath count, condition, age, special features. Get the basics right first.
STEP 2: RESEARCH COMPS
What are similar properties selling for in this area? Look at 3-5 recent sales. This gives you your After Repair Value (ARV).
STEP 3: ESTIMATE REPAIRS
Get detailed bids from trusted contractors. This is where most investors go wrong - they underestimate. Add 10-15% contingency.
STEP 4: CALCULATE YOUR NUMBERS
ARV - Repair Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Profit Goal = Your Maximum Offer
STEP 5: DETERMINE YOUR OFFER
Make an offer that hits your profit target. If the numbers don't work, walk away. There's always another deal.
The key? Discipline. Emotion kills deals. Numbers don't lie.
