The more accurate your deal analysis, the less you\u2019ll be over-budget when something inevitably needs to be fixed or rehabbed. Thankfully, you can run deal analysis in a short amount of time, and get so good at it that you may be able to do it on the spot when you run across a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
