let me know if this is still on :)

This is actually great stuff. I'm going to code it ;)

Hey Guys, I got tired of using a spreadsheet and backchecking all my expenses income when tax season arrives, so I just decided to code an app. I finally finished what I consider the beta :D and after I fix the bugs I find I want. 

what features do you consider important on a pieced of software that manages your rentals and flips (and or wholesales)? I want to implement all the features that will make my life easier haha. (and ofc the life of people who download said app (I don't think Brandon will let me post a link for it, so, I'm talking about people who find it by accident)) 

what do you guys think it's a must-have? :D

I had a youtube link, but apparently is gone, and i wasn't even notified? are we not allowed to show our properties? 

what's up team? I just acquired a new unit (a month ago, renovated, and now am renting) will be posting Part1/2 and 3 for before/after attic, before/after actual unit, numbers respectively!



Feel free to ask any questions!  Hopefully you guys enhoy this

the attic would increase my CoC

normal website, no negotiation

20%Down - Bank 80% at 40 years

How did you add value to the deal?

I completly remodel the attic to look incredibly good for a rental (will post video on my "André Mariano" YTB channel

What was the outcome?

first month of renting rn at 775 wich is great considering my previous investment rents for 325 a month

Lessons learned? Challenges?

I bought this property last year and even though portugal is leftwinged and taxes are HUGEEEEEEEEEEE , it still cashflows a bit (b4 taxes)

if you're buying a car, always get a second hand one and let the other person take most of the initial depreciation,


and make sure you don't hit anything, cause teslas have terrible safety scores. (the model 3 is so poorly built...) 

i do 1%, sooo at least 850 and 1440
