I am a rookie investor hoping to purchase my first property within the next 90 days.Kwanza Hi Kwanza,The first thing you'll need to decide is whether or not you want checkbook control of your self directed IRA. 

Hi all,I am a young newbie investor looking to make my first real estate purchase in 2025.

It's packed with strategies and mindset shifts that have propelled countless entrepreneurs, including yours truly, to extraordinary achievements.

It's calculated as the ratio of your total loan amount (loan amount for purchase + loan amount for your rehab) to your total costs (purchase price + rehab budget). 95% is a good target.Avoid application and other upfront/junk fees. 

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $33,000 Cash flow is after all expenses including vacancy, maintenance, and capx deductions.

I know that interest on the acquisition loan can be included in the cost basis since it’s inventory.

With a purchase price of $250k, your rent is WAY too low!

I am 1600 miles away from three residential properties I just purchased in Jackson, Mississippi. 

My partner and I keep an excel spreadsheet of rent, our purchases, utilities, taxes, insurance, and money spent on contractors.

Yes you can find properties which you will be able to purchase, but ROI will be near zero or negative.
