I thought the Cashflow ROI (amount of net cash flow generated as a percentage of purchase price) would be a more appropriate measure.

The metric would be a measurement of cash flow.

I want to aim at a property that is about 150k so a 3.5% down payment of $5,250, if this provides any insight.My thoughts are possibly refinancing within 3 years or whenever seems appropriate and there is enough cash in hand to consider refinancing.Thanks in advance for the help!

I am now making the leap of faith into marketing for deals.I have begun with some test mailing campaigns to measure the response rates, etc.

Clients today are well educated and have taken back the power.”Measure twice, buy onceIf you’re going to take your design into your own hands, you’ll need to do your research.

That would mean that I'd need to pull comps and hope it was already listed at a discount and then start my offers at 75%ish, to make the numbers meet the 70% ARV less repairs and holding costs, and the price that we aim for.
