Hi everybody,

I am a new investor, and following @Brandon Turner's plan of analyzing 3 deals per day. However, I don't believe that I have the correct template or calculators. I am trying to analyze Single Family Homes (SFH) in the Aurora / Naperville, IL area, for potential buy-and-hold rental properties.

Does anyone out there have a calculator or template that they prefer using? Something in a downloadable spreadsheet would be great as well.

Any additional tips or strategies for evaluating potential properties, is always welcomed as well.

Thank you,

Sorry my last post did not have a full subject title.

I joined Bigger Pockets last year and got overwhelmed with all of the options, so I am back to square one on my education. I would like to start REI to build some wealth for my growing family, but could use some advice.

I live in the Chicago suburbs and my wife and I have two young children. We own a home, so I don't know if house-hacking would be right for us.

I am moderately handy, so flipping may be an option. But the ultimate goal would be to own a duplex-fourplex that we would rent out and generate positive cash flow.

If you have followed a similar path or are on this current one, please contact me so that we can talk and discuss how you made your decisions.

Thank you for your advice,

Jelani

Thanks to @J Scott for putting this spreadsheet together. It have been very helpful for a beginner in REI, like myself.

I do have 1 question for anyone that can answer: How is the equity accrued calculated? Did I miss the explanation?

Thank you.

Hi Everybody,

My name is Jelani Tate (picture coming soon) and I am new member to BiggerPockets. I signed up after a friend mentioned this is a fantastic site to learn about real estate investing.

As I stated, I am new to real estate investing, but I am ready to soak up information on how to get started, how to build a real estate investing roadmap, and generate wealth.

My goals are to build a portfolio to help my family achieve independence from the typical "8-to-6" job and learn techniques that are successful and repeatable.

One principle that I have learned in my early learning is that this will take time and effort. I am not looking to get rich overnight, but rather get wealthy over time.

Thank you to all for your welcoming responses and advice. I look forward to many more discussions.
