Hi all,I am currently working in the supply chain industry as an analyst for a major US corporation, but I am interested in moving into an analytics role in the real estate sector.I want to showcase that I am competently performing in this sector using my own money, and that therefore I can be entrusted in the role based on track record.I don't want to send the message that I'm too busy to do my day job, or that I don't really need the money and therefore can be lowballed on salary.Here's a draft of that section of the resume (formatting is better in word)Parabola, LLC, Belltower Holdings, LLC & Other Affiliates, Keene, NH January 2018-PresentFounding Investor, Executive ManagerIdentify acquisition opportunities, perform financial analysis (IRR, NPV, DSCR, GRM, etc) and quantitative risk analysis (Monte Carlo Simulation)Grew an initial investment of $6k in one single family home into a sixteen-unit rental portfolio worth $1.65M over the course of 55 months.Developed the InvestMyHouse.com brand for marketing seller financed acquisitions.

I work as a mechanical engineer in the defense (simulator) industry in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.

I ran through a bunch of simulations with these assumptions to help keep it clean:purchase+rehab budget = $55KARV= $82Krent= $1125Purchase houses until available funds reaches 10K first year, then same amount each year after, if cash available allows it. 

Figure out what the principal, interest, insurance, maintenance, taxes, etc. would be on that property (worse case), subtract out what you pay for rent, and try to save at least that every month ... this will not only help build your personal finance skills, but will also simulate what your finances would look like after you purchase the property ... if you are late or short even 1 day or dollar or don't like how your life is during that simulation, then you won't like it after your purchase ... you'll need to lower the simulated expenses until you are happy with it ... from that you will know how expensive a property you personally can comfortably afford and save up a down payment for it.

They let you simulate how your credit score is affected if you make certain changes - close a card, pay down debt, etc.

However, I would jump to something that is geared towards your business like Buildium, that way your doing accounting correct, and you also getting everything else everyone is trying to simulate with spread sheets.

Anybody on here ever used Monte Carlo simulations or partial stochastic differential equations to determine things like purchase price, optimal holding period, rent increases.

But still left confused which way to go.I ran a simulated property both ways and it seemed like a wash....not sure I caught all the details though.

Run a simulation of a 30 year mortgage amortization schedule: the first several years are almost ALL interest, taxes, insurance, etc... with very little principal pay-down.
