Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

If you have a savings account earning less than 7.5%, no need to have a savings account when you have extra funds available to you in your heloc.

Hi,New to BiggerPockets.  I have a few lots in New Orleans and am looking to run  profitability analysis of sfr 3/2 development v. one zoned as duplex.  What are the best Bigger Pockets tools to use for profitability ...

Going direct saves you and the seller money, giving you a lower cost to entry which helps all your numbers, but you have to put in the extra work to find that deal.

You can find online mortgage calculators that allow you to play around and see what happens if you do an extra payment or increase your payments.

100% financing, no payments, financing in extra "cash out" money upfront so you can do a rate/term refi once you pay them off... 

I'm curious to know how you are calculating cash flow.

What is the formula to calculate what the business is worth based on gross and net STR income?

Earning an extra 3% on $2k that you’re likely holding for less than a year.

For instance instead of having to stay glued to new listings, find the ones that show potential, then estimate rent, then put them in your calculator, then look at comps for ARV, then finally calculate offer price etc.
