Having trouble with Deal Analysis

[Pat Quaranto]

When I try to analyze a deal, I feel like there are so many steps within each step that make it more difficult to actually figure out how to do it. For example, when I get up to “estimating rehab costs”, for me it’s like it’s impossible to know how to estimate rehabbing costs without reading an entire book on it. Or being experienced enough.

It seems like I’m never going to be fully able to analyze a property until I read about each step into detail. Meanwhile I see people picking it up within days.

What am I doing wrong? Extremely frustrated. Any all-in-one, step-by-step recommendations? 

Thanks!
