SFH Investing - Knowledge of Numbers

[Zachary Polson]

Hi All,

This marks my first post on BP, I am thoroughly enjoying all of the knowledge and experience people share freely here. I am new to RE investing and want to gain more knowledge to develop my roadmap for investing. 

With that being said, I have read a few books and used google to assist with many question but a lot of the information seems vague. My main goal is to find a book explaining the ins and outs of investing in Single Family, Buy and Hold rentals. Specifically, a break down of the numbers someone typically crunches to determine if a house makes sense to invest in or not. A real world (or made up) example would be ideal.

Some topics and examples I would expect to see are Rent comps for the area, property management fees, typical repair costs, pros and cons to furnishing a house, exit strategies, etc. 

I believe my dream book may be too much to ask for but I hope the wealth of knowledge in this forum can point me in the right direction or stop my wild goose chase. 

Thank you!
