Real estate investing requires making sound financial decisions. Investors must base deals on accurate, comprehensive assessments of the property to ensure a successful return on investment. While making financial projections prior to any deal is an imperative step, building financial models can prove a complex and arduous task for many. Many investors are inexperienced in creating and manipulating financial models or simply attempt to cut corners when making financial projections.

- Applying irrelevant data to a model affecting an investments projection
- Physical errors (executing incorrect function, entering wrong key, etc.)
