When I first started my real estate journey in 2018 and started listening to BiggerPockets Real Estate podcasts, I was only familiar with Cash on Cash return.Once I actually entered the game in 2020, I quickly realized that there were many more calculations to take into consideration:ROI - Return on InvestmentROE - Return on EquityIRR - Internal Rate of ReturnEM - Equity MultipleCap Rate - Capitalization RateCoC - Cash on Cash ReturnAAR - Average Annual Return(I’m sure I'm missing some)I still struggle to juggle all of these calculations today.Developers, syndicators, flippers, etc., will all have different preferences.Which key calculations do you prioritize on when analyzing your deals?

Our business real estate coach has also shared that the entire US is like that in almost all the markets.This is the first time this has happened to me.What are the recommendations?

First time posting and getting into the investment scene, I currently have a single family home that was my previous primary, and looking into purchasing my 1st true investment property, trying to find some advice on the financial aspect of the purchase, here's my scenario;Currently going through pre-approval with the builder and I do have liquid assets enough to cover the downpayment for the property (40k) but I do have a car note (41k, 800 monthly, extra 500 to principal monthly) and a Patio upgrade (25k no interest till March 2025).

Example: November 2023 sold for 500kListed under foreclosure for 260k now.Photos don't show any updates or signs of any rehab being started.My first guess it these were bought as rehabs without inspection and people found severe structural issues that they cant afford to remedy, which is common with the amount of water around us on Long Island.What other assumptions or conclusions would you draw from seeing listing like this one?

I prefer to have it donw because I will have new renters coming in two weeks after they leave and it needs to be done the right way the first time because I don't want my new tenants to be inconvenienced with another new lawn being re-laid weeks after they move in, if the first attempt doesn't 'take'. 

What were your first steps?

A neighbor 2 doors down also cited had added a staircase between his first-floor apartment to the basement apartment legalized and with the crazy rents in the area, collected rents now legally for both.

First, I did put in a second HVAC to control the temperature upstairs separately from downstairs.
