Hi,The point of this message is to try and find out what a good real estate investor does when crunching the numbers before they acquire real estate.

If you can buy the park right ( crunch the numbers) and sell the trailers on contract you might come out ok.

It's full of tips and illustrations and takes you through every step of rehabbing homes from purchase to sale, as well as number crunching.

hi all,i am looking to start a new phase of my life and i thought that property investment and managment would be a great way for me to earn a living.i have been crunching numbers, and putting together senarios, and believing that a goal of $1,000,000 worth of of the right properties would make a good living for the immediate future.provided i do my dd and using a starting cost of 1,000,000,is it posible to buy these properties with 50,000 as leverage?

If it hits my initial monthly GRM calculation then I will take the numbers and crunch them through an actual income/expense statement.

I shy away from telling people to go research and crunch general numbers on the house before you call because you might take the next two months to research comps and then by then they've sold the house to someone else.I have made so much money just because I jump faster than the next guy.
