Hello all, first time poster here.I've recently been looking into rental property investing and after watching several videos and reading blogs, I'm still confused on one thing: how to visually analyze a deal.All the videos and blogs talk about analyzing the numbers.

Some run the numbers monthly, others just once a year when it's time to file taxes.I've built quite a few custom Excel spreadsheets but I find it somewhat challenging to translate the numbers into compelling visuals.

Consumers are very lazy and visually tend to make decisions with their eyes.

Visualize digging your fingers in the ground, it grabs hold.

Hi Tasia,Hard to say without a visual... got any pics?

Did a visual walk through with agent and nothing stood out as a major issue.

The IRR Looks like this:So yes, you can do JUST a Cash on Cash Return (CoC Return) and get the same answer as a 10 year projected IRR as in the image above.Also, because you are using a 10 year projection schedule, you really VISUALIZE the Cash Flows.

I’m looking into section 8 real estate and was unsure of what type of place to look for, so this gives me a great visual starting point!

On my request, USREEB sent a Structural engineer and this is from his report based on visual review: "The foundation walls of the house have experienced some common movements for a slab and the house shows signs of some stress cracks which have been patched in the past.

If you get someone that demands to see all the wiring and pipes they will demand holes get cut in the drywall for visual inspection.
