@Lamont MarableYou better off investing that $15k on a project with a seasoned investor and pick his brains until you don't have anymore questions and make $$$ at the same time

Pick out your target market (it sounds like Montana, but you may want to narrow it down further). 

I guess what I mean is that the calculations are all very helpful to determine if a rental investment is going to be a good deal but that is all dependent on the property renting. 

Ultimately what your criteria is will determine the area. 

I had a deal in front of me and need help determining if this is a good value....It is a low cost low income building.I have a break down of all the numbers but I’ll just throw out the basicsGross rent is $234,000 on an upward trend producing closer to $22,000 a month last 4 months, seller has been clearly cleaning things up a little before sellingThe balance sheet that they gave me shows $98,000 NOI but they do not have property taxes listed and makes me wonder what else that they left out..But either way that should still keep the NOI above $90,000The asking price is $800,000Looking for advise from some experienced investors Thank you

How do you determine if the market or submarket is transitioning from phase 1 to 2 or 2 to 3?

Pick a place to pays for trash and hopefully water as well.

You should send out a batch or partial batch with first class mail to determine your returned mail percentage.

How I plan to do this: (THIS IS THE PART WHERE I WANT PEOPLE TO PICK APART MY PLAN.

Like many young investors, I picked up Rich Dad, Poor Dad around the time I left the Marine Corps and got very excited about the idea of investing in real estate, but I couldn't really see my path to get started.
