For example, if you got a HELOC at 75% LTV they calculate it by multiplying your 275k by 75% to get about 206k, then they subtract your remaining principle of 161, which would get you a HELOC value of about 45k.Good luck!!

People are still buying, but now at GRM (gross rent multiplier) of 11-12 commonly.

@Sam Gill You will need your accountant to agree with the applicability of the exception in your case but if you meet the criteria and have lived in it for less than two years you would take the $250k (500K if married) and divide that by 24 and then multiply by the number of months you lived in it.  

Thus he can best redeploy his investment capital on a house or houses that have a better rental multiplier relative to the homes ARV while having the same appreciation potential. 

A lot of people use GRM (Gross rent multipliers) to make quick offers when they are under the clock.  

Multiply by 11 to assume one month of vacancy per year, which is conservative.$3000 in kitchen work, and an afternoon of your elbow grease that would otherwise have been spent doing non-income-generating activities, to turn a neglected kitchen into an amazing gorgeous kitchen, to bump rent by $50/month? 

Now we just use actual days and life has been much easier.For full months, which comprise the majority the duration for most loans, we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply by the principal balance for that month.

Now, we can always assume a certain percentage, multiply by the current value of the property and find out the appreciation in $.Kyle

Let them be part of the motivation.Everyone is either a divider, subtracter, adder, or multiplier. 

Multiply that one example by 100 and you can see how the lessons of other successful investors are so valuable.
