Alon Helman Breaking into the market: Failing at the numbers game!
17 March 2021 | 8 replies
Homes sell for higher than asking price/bidding wars.Rent to value ratio doesn’t seem to work on any property.Capital limit of 120k.No access to off market listings.When we run the numbers, cash flow is either negative or barely breaks even.ResourcesWe have an excel sheet we plug our numbers into, but it seems that no matter what scenario we look into, it just never adds up so we can cash flow or hardly break even.We have also been listening to a lot of podcasts, reading forums, and talking to lenders, realtors, and property management companies .We understand that delving into real estate is a complicated and nuanced endeavor, but we’ve been researching so much and still cannot figure out how other people make it work.
