Joseph Fenner What software should I be taking advantage of when investing in real estate
31 July 2024 | 10 replies
Ok I will check those websites out, Thank you.There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

30 July 2024 | 2 replies
Essentially, the cap rate is the proportion of Net Operating Income (NOI) to the property's value or selling price:Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI)/Property ValueThis ratio offers a direct method to evaluate the yield a property generates in relation to its cost.For advanced real estate investors, integrating additional factors might prove beneficial:Vacancy rate: The duration the property remains vacant.Operating expenses percentage: Includes insurance, utilities, and maintenance costs (excludes mortgage payments, depreciation, or income taxes).The adjusted formula for net income, incorporating these considerations, is:Net Income=(100 − Operating Expenses %) ×(100 − Vacancy Rate %) × Gross Income
