I know there are dozens of variables that need to be considered, but purely for estimation purposes, are there general buckets that can be used?

REIHub is purely accounting.

That said, from purely a state tax perspective, South Dakota has advantages over more highly taxed states, like Virginia. 

I'm not sure if you're looking at a pure investment or a place you can use for yourself.

I would never rely purely on a wholesalers numbers but do your own.

That way you know how much you'll be paying when you live there and what the potential cash flow will be once you move out and convert it to a pure investment property.One mistake people often make is not figuring for management or the total amount of repairs / CapEx.

If you are viewing this purely by the numbers, then house hacking in Atlanta would likely be the top choice to go with since you would jump start your investing career while mitigating your living expenses by having tenants pay your mortgage if you find the right property.

I can only hope that this is your Road to Damascus moment and that from now on you will forsake the evil ways of Velocity Banking for the good news of simple, pure, principle repayment. 

I would love any feedback or additional creative ideas of what to do or how to start my launch, so I'm not immediately entrapped in building someone else's wealth through purely renting and living paycheck to paycheck. 

Purely by accident How did you finance this deal?
