Yes it does thanks!

Joshua:

Can we post deals in the group area? Not sure if you already put something out about that.

If you look to the left under Popular Links, you will see Property Analysis Tool. That's a good place to start.

I don't know of any free software either, but you can search this site as there are members that provide spreadsheets they use to do their analysis.

I use a software called Landlord's Cashflow Analyzer.

Any suggestions anyone? :whistle1:

Is there a way we can keep the topics we track in our profile. That will help us to remember which ones we are tracking and they will be readily accessible.

Is there a general rule of thumb for estimating closing costs for commercial properties, ie % of purchase price?

I just purchased that book by Steve Berges, The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings. Great book. A wealth of information without spending a lot of money. If you have minimal investing experience then you can use this book as a step by step guidline.

n57h,

Last week I purchaed that book redfish suggested by Steve Berges. It is a really good book. It is for the novice investor in apartment buildings but so it covers the basics. It helped me understand the evalution process and what data to get in order to make the analysis.

If you haven't gotten it yet, I strongly suggest you do while you purchase your property. Even though it's not written as a step by step guideline, it does provide me with the necessary direction I was looking for.

Good Luck!

Damien

What is the best way to go about getting the private lenders and what rates are good rates to offer?

Can any investor share with me how they use private money and your experiences? I would like to know what programs you offer and how you administer your programs. Also what are the best ways to get started. Thanks!
