My name is Seth and I have been doing my homework, trying to learn the ropes of real estate investing.

@Dany JarjouraI do 2 minute “back of the napkin” math on potential properties.

Quote from @George Suarez: The numbers Brandon uses in his examples won't match today's reality, but the math is still the same.

We have an amazing rent vs house hack calculator that will do all of this math for you (pictured in graphics above).

We were caught in the Rat Race, me working as a Physical Therapist and my wife as a teacher until our 2nd child came along, and we did the math and found that 2/3 of her take home income would go towards child care.

so again wholesaling is only a method in the big world of real estate and it’s part of real estate a big part of it actually so it’s best not to just ignore it it’s like knowing everything about math but you never learned how to subtract but you know how to divide you know geometry and you know how complex trigonometry but you don’t know how to simply subtract that is almost equivalent of ignoring the art of wholesaling real estate.
