The problem is that they are not knowledgable enough to understand that the analysis is inaccurate, but start making investment decisions based on the analysis anyway.That is one of the main problems I wanted to solve with DealCheck by providing a tool that takes most of the guess work out of running analysis calculations and evaluating rentals/flips/wholesale deals that will satisfy 80%+ of investors out there.But going further, I think that tools like DealCheck are perfectly viable even for more experienced investors.

Armed with this information, carefully evaluate whether the numbers meet your investment objectives before making a decision.Good Luck!

That said, the increased rental income typically associated with POHs vs TOHs partially offsets these additional costs, though the long-term financial implications and operational risks tied to POHs require careful evaluation.

That said it is possible that you need to evaluate your stays and decide if it is worth taking shorter stays or sticking to some longer stays to reduce your time commitment and maximize the revenue for time invested.

Having a rental in the name of an LLC, versus personal name, isn't one of the criteria the IRS uses to evaluate if a property is a rental or not. ...

Living in the house has definitely slowed progress. 

Are you using a 20-35% down payment when evaluating point 3? 

Because it causes one to think about the way they invest, the reasoning behind their investments, and the success and failures their investment tactics and strategies have produced.I make a decision to pursue a real estate investment (or really any investment) based on an evaluation of risk vs return.  

I look forward to engaging with you all, sharing insights, and hopefully contributing to discussions as I progress on my journey. 

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Albert Hepp: I've seen huge growth in listings not offering a commission, but expecting a commission, and instructing the buyer agent to include the buyer agent commission with the offer.This is the first step towards buyers evaluating what an appropriate amount for their buyer agent to earn, which is a very good thing for buyers. here in Portlandia the listing agents are NOT Allowed to offer a commish..
