On Page 134, he lists the following when analyzing a deal:Sales Price: $132,490.00Sales Expenses: $17,000.00Loan Balance: $55,004.72Total Invested Capital: $35,950.00Profit: $24,535.28I agree with his thought process here when he calculates net profit, but I'm trying to verify the net profit by adding up all the sources of income over the past five years in his example by doing the following:Appreciation over five years=$12,490 (see chart on Page 133).Cash flow ($297.73x12x5)=$17,863.80 over five years.Loan paydown: ($60,000-55,004.72)=$4,995.28 over five years.Sales Expenses are still $17,000.Doing the math, profit= $12,490+$17,863.80+$4,995.28-$17,000=$18,349.08There is a $6,186.20 difference from the net profit he calculates.My question is: Is this $6,186.20 difference due to the forced appreciation gained in the property from the rehab he does in this example?

How do I get the calculator to calculate interest for both the purchase price and the rehab.

Now the 9% doesn't seem to be a terrible deal, but then I calculated the risks involved.

I ran some quick numbers and would estimate (assuming you have good credit) you could borrow around $415k-$420k, which includes funding 100% of the rehab costs.Have you calculated your expected profit based on selling after rehab and if you decide to keep long term? 

Since 1031 is tax deferral, I assume the gain is calculated with the likely substantially lower basis from the pre 1031 property acquisition + additional cost over the years.And yes, recapture all depreciation ( on both prop before and after 1031) make sense.

In the meantime watch the BP podcasts and use the BP calculator to start analyzing deals so you get comfortable with the numbers.By this time next year I would say if you do this you'll have 10k in a bank account with an ok credit which should make you eligible for an FHA loan to buy (1-4 Units) with 3.5% down and get you started. 

If you reported a lot of expenses and showed a loss, then the loss will be treated as a liability in DTI calculation.

., missing property taxes or HOA fees), unreliable rent estimates, and the time-consuming process of manually calculating metrics like cash flow or ROI.Platform Preference: A web-based platform would work well for in-depth analysis, but a mobile app would be crucial for on-the-go research and quick evaluations, especially when touring properties.Wish-List Features: A tool that integrates local market data (rental demand, appreciation rates, or vacancy rates) and offers scenario modeling (e.g., "What happens if I increase rents by 10%?")

If you don't believe it, go to the BP calculator and run a million dollar property with 10k rent and 3% appreciation and see what happens after 30 years.
