What would be the first steps if you were in my shoes?

@Dylan KitzingerWelcome — underwriting can feel overwhelming at first.I spend a lot of time underwriting deals and breaking them down step by step, and what helped me most early on was focusing on conservative rent assumptions, realistic expenses, and seeing if a deal still works at today’s rates before thinking about upside.If it helps, I’m happy to outline a simple step-by-step way I approach underwriting.
