(I only ask because 1 of the properties is in far worse shape than the other so I am trying to get a feel of what your ideal would be)  Some people just want cosmetics and others are good with total gutting.  

Benjamin Barredo I totally understand what you are saying..

I have been an avid listener of the BP podcast for quite some time now and I'm excited to be part of the online community!

Hello BP Community,I have been working on a spreadsheet to do BRRRR analysis and i was looking through the BRRRR Calculator on BP to see what kind of output it gives and i cant seem to figure out how the "Total Cash Invested" is calculated on the Refinance portion of the output report.I feel like this should be obvious, but I'm not seeing it. 

Hey BP Community,I'm looking to add a multi-family (duplex or triplex) to my portfolio.I have a total of 3 single family rentals that are free and clear.

We are still totally new so exploring where would be good to invest.

If you don't have a RE agent, I would either google for the top realtors in your realtors and start calling them.And/or search for realtors on BP to help you.When I need a quick search online, i use findcompsnow and realquest express 

However the online deal went sour because seller wanted 35 days close with $300 flat fee penalty and $100 per day for any day over 35 and I could not get a conventional mortgage with no plumbing from my current lender and rehab loan would take 60 or so days to close.

If paying cash, the loan pay down would not be there but the cash flow would be higher, but not 'pay down' so let's say a total of 12% or so.

The ease of use is also quite nice because they do everything online.
