It is the only calculator of its kind to help you determine: if househacking is a better investment than a traditional home purchase, how long to hold onto the investment before selling, how long to live in the property, and which unit to occupy.If this will be a traditional rental property investment (not a househack), select ‘renter’ for all units under the Summary Tab’s ‘Property Information’ section.Metrics used for the deal analysis:The purchase price is based on the median sale price - $1,450,000 Unit bed/bath counts are based on the median 5 bed/3 bath counts for sold Astoria 2-family properties this year.Projected rents are $3,200 and $3,900 respectively as shown in our median rents for 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments.Not included in the analysis is ADU income.

The CCIM Institute has awesome courses that take you through the gamut of understanding the language of commercial real estate, financial analysis, market analysis, and advanced investment decision making.

Ive been having some analysis paralysis about not knowing what would be the best option for my first ever property.

If you do these five things consistently and immediately, you will get out of analysis paralysis and into the game much quicker than watching Instagram Reels and TikTok videos.If you are experienced and want to weigh in on which ones here you like and dislike, let's go.
