Confused about the 50% rule and my calculations , Did I do it right
Hi BiggerP,
I am super nervous about buying my 1st duplex and I have been doing a lot of researching on biggerp and the 50% rule has come up lots of time. If my biggerP family could assist me with the below, are my calculations correct.
Purchase price is $27000 , Renovation $5000
Loans amount $30000 (no interest, loan from a family member, however I pay them back between $300-500 monthly)
My calcualtion
$600 * 2= $1200
50% rule= $600
remaining $600-$300(loan)= $300
$300 cash flow or $150 per door.
