Im looking at 2 family which will be bought as follows:

20k Cash

84,300 Private Money Loan

I have a bank that will refinance at 80% LTV (130K ARV = 104K mortgage).

I understand that the TOTAL Cash Invested shows 0.00 but I'm assuming thats only on the Refinance. The acquisition shows 30,000 cash needed at purchase which should be covered buy the private money loan.

Im obviously trying to get my money back back out but im a bit confused on:

-How much cash i am putting up? 30k? I only wanted to use 20K of my own with a private loan.

-Where is the amount that Im profiting which will now be the downpayment? It says that total cash invested is 0.00 and my Cash on Cash ROI shows Inf. after refinance but Im confused on how much money im putting in vs. how much profit I pushed into it.

-I added the initial purchase price, closing cost, and rehab and then subtracted my 20K downpayment and entered that amount for the loan amount on the initial purchase. Was that done correctly?

The BRRRR calculator asks for rehab costs but it then under "Purchase Loan Details", it asks for "down payment of purchase price". Where can you actually finance the rehab price with the purchase price with a down payment of 20% for all costs?

These current #'s dont meet my qualifications at this point but im trying to figure out how to add the rehab costs for the aquisition(private money) loan.

Revere pewter if you’re not panting everything white.
Providing a lawn mower to a tenant who tells his 15 years old kid to mow the lawn and then happens to cut off a few a toes is too much of a risk to me personally. Also, if it’s not running, you’ll be getting the phone call. I require tenants in single family homes to provide their own. In multi units, it’s included in the rent and a service takes care of it. But we all have different risk tolerances.
The unemployment rate is a farce. I believe that you have to start either labor participation rate.
