Hi BP.

Just want to share my excitement. I've been writing offers lately and while I haven't gotten anything back signed yet it feels like it's just a matter of time. Thanks for all of your support and cross your fi...

I doubt my loan officer will approve another $500k on top of my existing $200k loan if the 9 unit mixed-used building doesn't appraise for what the current math says it must appraise for: $700k.

After all was said and done, we had made $100,000 while I was working full time as a math teacher making about $40k a year, but with summers off.

Timing is a waste of time.Any data you do find is monkey math manipulated out the wahoo to tell a story that the government/Federal Reserve wants to convey.

I just need somebody to verify my math.

Do not try to do everything yourself.Always remember to do a math analysis on your prospective properties and try to look at them before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you some time ( about 15 days to do a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.  

Trust your gut and the math analysis on prospective properties.  

CAP rate is math calculation.

I'm here to start learning as much as I can about real estate investing in order to bolster my income with what I find to be a very interesting and enjoyable subject matter (you know us math nerds). 

Offer $780k and show the math for arriving at that price.
