They book initial call to see if you are a good fit, well I will say everyone is great fit who wants to pay them money.

The main reason is that it is not initially set up for a Real Estate business like other “real estate-specific” accounting software.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

Big picture, however, I am building a plan and team to invest in strong markets with lower entry prices to BRRRR 5+ unit multi families.

I got good at estimating renovation costs by making an initial estimate based on photos/walkthrough, drawing up a model like you see here, then once the project is finished, go to accounting, get the actual expense report for that property, and update the model.

His initial opinion is that it has to be prorated but that is contrary to what I have heard on YouTube. 

The rent-to-price ratios here make cash flow realistic, and there’s a lot of revitalization happening that adds appreciation potential.Detroit’s population is officially growing again, and there’s strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods seeing more development.

My initial guess would be look at 1 bed 1 bath rentals in the area but is that the best way to estimate?

The key question here is whether you’re comfortable with a relatively low initial cash-out and whether the property’s long-term cash flow makes up for that.Since your goal is portfolio-building, the BRRRR method could work, but the numbers have to make sense for you.

But what I found ironic are:- Andy, who has been working full time in RE for 4 years, are finally going to make $50K passive annual income from rental (with a flawed net profit calculation that didn't income vacancy rate, maintenance fee); and he said after attending the $39,500 program, he paid total $80K--poor Andy didn't even make his initial investment back after four years and yet they are demonstrating him as a success case.- In fact, Andy is now a "trainer"--which seems to me, training is their stream of income, not real estate- Andy revealed that he found his deal leads through words of mouth; what's ironic is the instructor kept on selling the importance of the company's Elite Success Software and told us we can't make deal without itInstead of teaching something, they spent the whole third day (at least until 1 pm when I finally decided to leave) selling the program.
