Here's the rough numbers on my current deal I should close in about 2 weeks in E Oakland: $390K Purchase price. $100K Downpayment $30-40K in rehab $420-$430K total cost $130-140K total investment ~ 7GRM & 8-9% cap rate on out-of-pocket investment 10-12% CF return on investment before principal paydown, appreciation, and laundry income. ~$60-100K projected built-in equity if all goes well.

We unfortunately never got to the point of writing up a contract just exchanging e-mails for scope of work agreed upon ace verbal agreement on price.

Sure, stocks and bonds could generate higher returns cash on cash, but not in a mutual fund and not by an amateur just picking something off of e-trade.

@Polina Goncharova - as an accountant, you should know about Schedule E - look there and make sure you have allocated for all allowed deductible expenses; they're deductible because they will be incurred in the course of doing business as a landlord.

Unless the check happened in a different period and you've already submitted financials to a 3rd party, I'd skip the J/E and just go back to the check and change the account to an expense as Account Closed said.

So get the fundamentals down with Google resources, then search bolgs when you have specific questions 

Sincerely,E.

But a general idea and or fundamentals course wouldn't hurt either.

I wouldn't have a big problem with an e-mail, from a cell phone, in text-eze, but I would draw the line at them using a nickname.
