@Marcel Pean That formula is a base line. 

If you starting out , I would recommend to go with single family or duplex. 1% formula is hard in GTA and surrounding areas but there are multiple ways to make money in real estate.

What hurts Investors that use this formula is it does not account for Holding Costs, Backend Selling Costs, etc.I use the following formula to determine my Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO).

Are there some math formulas that help?

There is no one formula to start in real estate.

They use a formula to figure out my monthly premium, based on the properties you own as of the first of the month.

If you think back to when we were kids and learned how to find the mean average of something, that formula will look familiar to you. :) 5 grapes plus 7 grapes divided by 4 children equals an average of 3 grapes per child.

Courses #5 – 8 may be included in your postsecondary educationExperience Requirements – 20 transactions The Division calculates the transactions to ensure the applicant meets a total of twenty by using the following formulas: • Listing agent in the sale of property owned by another = ½ transaction • Selling agent in the sale of property owned by another = ½ transaction • Listing agent in the lease of commercial or industrial real estate owned by another for a term of at least one year = ½ transaction • Procuring agent in the lease of commercial or industrial real estate owned by another for a term of at least one year = ½ transaction • Listing and /or procuring agent in the lease of four residential real estate properties owned by another for a term of at least one-year = 1 transactionThere are also requirements about not having a criminal record.http://www.com.ohio.gov/documents/real_Requirement...You can probably get into investing sooner than you can accomplish all of that.  

Then join a local REI group and begin using this formula to overcome your fear of the unknown....Definite Goal/Plans + Faith + Emotion + Action  = All Human AccomplishmentFaith = Knowing you can accomplish your goal / Self ConfidenceEmotion = Feeling you can accomplish your goal / objectiveIf you feel that you are deficient in any element, focus on working on that until you feel you're ready to take action.I wish you the best.
