Hey Antoinette, Welcome to BP and the world of Real Estate Investing!

Bigger Pockets has a few calculators you can plug in relevant info into to calculate ROI, and other metrics of a property you're analyzing.

The right decision or good deal are not always universal. You have to decide, are the returns the investment generates satisfactory to you and do they align with you investment goals? 

A great book that can help you with calculating KPIs and Metrics on rental properties

Hey Lucas, Welcome to BP!

Buying Real Estate requires Capital. That Capital may be your own, someone else's, or a combination of the two. Many investors utilize OPM(Other Peoples Money) to invest and acquire real estate. When Private Lenders & Banks lend money, they prefer to lend to someone that has a good plan in place. That being said, getting educated before you start investing would be my advice to you. Listen to books, stay involved on BP, see what others are doing. Ask questions. LEARN. I started learning using Audible to listen to books. I currently have 200+ in my library, many of which I've listened to many times.

You have many options to acquire the capital to purchase real estate. A lender is going to look at your experience, knowledge, and strategy when making the decision to lend money to purchase real estate.

Good Luck and stay engaged!

Hey Blanca and Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Glad you're here.

Never stop learning. Audible is a great way to listen to books throughout the day when you're commuting, at the gym, etc. Lots of books on Multi Family Investing and House Hacking available.

Good Luck and stay active on BP! It can be a phenomenal resource if used correctly.

Another good one I may suggest, also available on audible...

 Hey Avery, Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Buy and Read this book

The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs - J Scott

If you are interested in using the BRRRR strategy and haven't gone through the book already, I'd highly recommend listening to on Audible or reading the hardcopy of the book. The book FLIP is very informative as well. I believe learning by educating yourself is the best base for achieving success.

BRRRR Hard Copy

BRRRR on Audible (1st and 2nd download w/ audible are free I believe)

Good Luck!

A great place to start before investing in real estate is your education. Have a good understanding on the area in which you're looking to invest before you invest. Learn how to calculate what a property will cash flow.
