Once you master it, its an awesome tool.Like the other members say, you can easily find it online, however, i strongly recommend you watch the videos (that come with the calculator when you buy it for a lil over $100) so you can learn how to use it properly.

Nobody watches your money like you do, you'll learn how to manage, so you can manage a manager later and you'll save precious early-years cash flow, which allows you to scale faster, especially in the first 5 years.

When you say you want to prioritize cash flow over equity, you want to watch out for people honing in on that and selling you "good cash flow" deals which will be in D neighborhoods and will come with high capital expenditures and harder tenancies.

I understand that it gives you more coverage and it better if you are transfering RE from someone that you don't know... but in my case I will be transferring from myself to my LLC.Some good answers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The watch out is if you lose your job or quit you will need to pay the money back in 30-60 days so I always make sure I have cash reserves to cover this if needed.

I did the below research a couple/few years ago (so info is slightly old) but never ended up doing one but for those who watch my posts, I have indicated it is high on my list for Q4.  

Watch the old classic "Pacific Heights" and you will never want to be a LTR landlord, at least in California lol. 

Hours spent watching podcasts and communicating on BP do not count.

There are a ton of tools and resources that not a lot of people know so doing some YT watching and their training helps immensely. also, happy to answer any questions you might have on set up / operations.
