Analyze Deals

Before: Buying Process Overview: First Meeting: Analyze Deals

Analyze Deals is all about how to analyze the properties you’re receiving from your real estate agent and looking at. It is the sixth step in the First Meeting with your real estate agent process.

Deal analysis is a skill you get better at over time, so for the first meeting we will typically suggest some basic deal analysis resources as part of the Ultimate Nomad Checklist™. Over time, you can practice analyzing more deals and learn more and better distinctions with your deal analysis.

Determine your acceptable property characteristics (if you haven't done so already)

Define what your acceptable property characteristics are if you haven't already done so.

Remember, these are characteristics it is easy to search for in the MLS. Examples include:

  • Cities you'd be willing to invest in
  • Minimum (and maybe maximum) number of bedrooms
  • Garage or no garage
  • Mobile homes? Condos? Townhomes? SFH? Multi-Family (2-4 units)? Commercial multi-family (5+ units)?
  • Price? Minimum? Maximum?

    • Property age? New construction?

Discuss with your Real Estate Broker if you have questions.

Mark this task complete once you know your acceptable property characteristics.
