How do you research a property before offering? Looking to learn from experienced inv

[Jwala Nallamala]

Relatively new to investing and trying to understand

how experienced investors actually approach property

research before making an offer.

I've been doing a lot of reading but I learn better

from hearing how real people actually work.

1. What does your pre-offer research process look

like start to finish?

2. How long does a thorough analysis take you?

3. What data sources or tools do you rely on most?

4. What's the part of the process you find most

painful or unreliable — the thing you wish was easier?

5. Have you ever made a costly mistake because

something in your research process broke down?

Appreciate any honest answers — especially from

people who've been doing this a long time.

I use a spreadsheet that I wrote. Enter a few figures and it tells you things. In fact, I have a list of things that I look at.
