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.

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

If all you are doing is watching YouTube videos, you don't know as much as you think.

I also watch occupancy rates and adjust if bookings are low.

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.

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.
