Does the property have the potential to raise rent in the near future? Analyze the deal using the seller's numbers – in your spreadsheet, run a property analysis based on the numbers you have given in the Offering Memorandum. Most likely, you will have access to two sets of numbers: the current property income plus expenses and the proforma income plus expenses.

Begin by adding 12 months' worth of categories to your spreadsheet for projected income, expenses, capital expenditures and debt services.
