I think you'll Hain a lot from that and other books here on bigger pockets. the metrics you use for analysing a deal are determined by what your goals are do you want to hit a certain dollar amount of cash flow per door?

I'm looking at a pocket listing to potentially purchase and flip.  

So on a 500k purchase, if structured correctly, its possible for a qualified borrower to only come out of pocket at closing with $25k and No PMI, No Escrows and no mortgage payment for over 50 days after closing is Very strong!

Hi Bigger Pockets people!!

I ran the number on the calculator on bigger pockets here, and can add that info if needed.The other option is to prepare my current house for sale for probably 15K I could sell it for 169K, and I would owe probably 116K by the time I sold it, I would have 53K in equity before I paid closing costs.

You can read it here. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/408271-achieve-investment-group-closed-on-174-units-in-san-antonioWe pullout out 117% of equity (cash out of pocket 3.76m) within 12 months.

You're going to need a lot more than 100 units if you plan on taking 60-80K per month in cash flow with the CAP rates being squished as far as they are currently, and only getting worse.As for the VA loan, yes, great tool for getting in with low money out of pocket (no down payment or PMI but origination fees are high) and a low interest rate.

I’m happy to be on bigger pockets!

The last rehab we did was out of pocket ($12,000) and we recaptured that on the refi.  

There's some specific areas I have an interest in buying both in Georgia and Florida.The Bigger Pockets community has inspired me to not wait and start now to obtain that "retirement" life a few years ahead of plan.
