Zachary Sit success is being able to play hide and seek with my 5 and 10 year old and laugh with them.

I have a solid stockpile of cash to play with.

If the goal is the long term play and money isn't a worry, it is more about the structure and content you are going to push (having a plan for it, frequency, content), rather than exactly what company you use to do so. 

Hi Gus - thanks for the post and the link, I'll check that out.I always look at capital as another piece of the expense pie and weigh out the cost of any and all sources of capital vs the cost of the deal, the management (to hire it), sales costs etc.In my 22 years in real estate, I have never seen this much capital playing the game, it's everywhere. 

I first learned about REI about 3 months ago when I was playing football at the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota.

Hi all, I recently upgraded my account to Pro and have been playing around with the BP Rental calculator with a particular property and was hoping to get some critiques or pointers on how I can improve my analysis...Case in point, I chose this property to analyze:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Roseville/344-Main-St-95...http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3...Link to my BP rental property report:https://bp-v-newproduction.s3.amazonaws.com/upload...How I came up with the values:- For annual property taxes ($2726) I took from the realtor.com link for 2016- For closing cost, I chose the highest suggested ($2500) - Estimated repair cost ($5000) the property looks decent, but chose $5000 figuring there will be a need to repair something.- Selected 25% at 4% interest rate, Left points charged and cap rate as blank.

But that is where the NOO HELOC would need to come into play.  

Hi @Anthony Portugal,Nothing jumps out at me, except that you are posting this on BP because your LO apparently doesn't think it's important enough to make time to explain it all to you... that doesn't bode particularly well for how it's possibly going to play out once in contract and paperwork is flying 100 mph!

Amenities, location, style, condition, lot size, neighboring homes, etc all play a role in the ARV.I tend to disagree with some of the comments above as I do not believe them all to be accurate, however, the important thing here is to learn how to properly evaluate a property's current and after repair value and there are many factors involved in this process, not just bed/bath and square footage.

This contractor is playing hard ball with you, time to step up your game.
