Nick Leamon Real Estate Books?
9 January 2023 | 5 replies
Ken McIlroy's book ABCs of Real Estate Investing is a must, as is The Millionaire Real Estate InvestorThe former illustrates the mechanics of the numbers within real estate investing better than anything else I've read, and the latter presents a beautifully simple path to wealth through real estate that is inspiring due to the approachability of it. 
Simon Strugar Dscr loan rates question.
8 September 2023 | 9 replies
If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit.I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Perry Ivy How much debt do you have?
29 October 2016 | 94 replies
There's actually a lot more to the whole equation, and it's been talked to death, but let me quickly illustrate a few more advantages to mortgage debt.- it's deductible on your taxes, provided you itemize (which every real estate investor should)- you're borrowing in today's dollars, but paying in future dollars; inflation over time for the USD tends to hover around 2% per year (Fed's goal, although at the moment it's slightly less), and mortgages right now are well below 4%, thus really meaning that you end up with only a <2% cost year on year, all else being equal- the cash you haven't spent on your property can go to other places, such as more real estate, the stock market (historical long-term yields of 7.5%), or giant billboards with you making a silly face on them (yield: priceless) All that being said, make sure you have a bit of a buffer and a few exit strategies.
