Since the payment was deposited into your account on 1/6/2025, it would typically be considered income for 2025, even though the tenant paid it on 12/31/2024.However, if you use cash-basis accounting (which most landlords do), the key factor is when you physically receive the money, not when it was sent or owed.

I am grateful that you shared this, because I do think a lot of these gurus, while generally having good intentions, are typically very naive and lack experience to truly teach anything.  

Typically, 8- 12% net for OOS investors based on cash purchases.Good luck 

Off street parking is typically more important for high end/expensive rentals.

Most DSCR loans come with a prepayment penalty that is typically 5% for the first year, 4 points for the second, 3, 2, or 1 pts for each year.

To echo Dominic, typically if you need to raise under $1mm of equity, the formation costs become overly prohibitive.  

That’s because the longer someone has lived in their house, the more that home’s value has grown, which directly increases equity.And if you’re one of those people who’s been in their home for 10 years or more, know this – according to NAR:“Over the past decade, the typical homeowner has accumulated $201,600 in wealth solely from price appreciation.”The Benefits of Having Home EquityWhat does that mean for you?

@Polat Caglayan very ambiguosu question, but read the helpful info below to guide your next set of questions:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I use standard market PM rates in my underwriting, but I also would not work for those rates but it is fair compensation for the work.I typically use vacancy of 5% not because I have ever had a unit that had that high vacancy but I do not have a no payment category and I want the underwriting to be conservativeon the opposite, your rate is a bit high and your appreciation rate and rent growth are modest.overall, seems like a decent attempt at an analysis.  

Do they value nicer finishes and design or is that additional cost lost on the typical tenant in that pocket?
