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.

I'm not sure why not - one of the great parts about real estate investing is that you can build a team around you for aspects you aren't as strong at or simply want to delegate to someone/expert and do the others yourself - look up "Core 4" for example - where you can have an agent, lender, manager, contractor all at once for your investments and can theoretically just let them do all the interactive work

@Josh LansberryIt’s exciting that you’re ready to take action in the Raleigh/Research Triangle market, an area with strong growth potential.

I did work for a commercial real estate investor prior to jumping into syndication, so that gave me a strong knowledge base to start with.

Paying off rental mortgages increases monthly cash flow but reduces liquidity, while investing in hard money lending offers high returns but is taxed as ordinary income.Buying a multi-unit rental provides tax benefits like depreciation, while purchasing a business can yield strong profits but requires active management.

I strongly, strongly recommend not doing this.

OKC has alot of opportunity mainly because of its low level of enforcement of housing codes, strong landlord laws and conservative judges in eviction court.

Congrats on your first STR in Sevierville—sounds like a strong start!

Texas is a great option, consider San Antonio or Houston for strong cash flow, DFW or Austin suburbs for appreciation, or Corpus Christi for short-term rental potential.

For fix-and-flips, you should focus on Atlanta neighborhoods with strong demand and a good spread between distressed properties and ARVs.
