I run a wholesaling operation here in Florida, but I got started flipping properties, so don't think wholesaling is an entry to real estate investing because it's not.Feel free to reach out with any questions. 

Hi BiggerPockets Community,My name is Satrohan, and I’m excited to join this platform as I recently passed my real estate salesperson exam in NYC.

If I NEED to sell within five years, this calculation provides insight into the real-world return that incorporates these vital aspects of the investment.I want a balance between steady cash flow and long-term appreciation potential. 

Congrats at already looking at real estate as an investment vehicle!   

When I dove deeply into the social media pool, I had no idea I was going to capture a tidal wave of undiscovered real estate investing opportunities.

sales commish  loan fees on new loans etc etc.. seems knee jerk to me.. but hey I am not finding those issues with Vegas LOW property taxs some of hte lowest in the country and unlike FLA and TX very low insurance because limited to know real issues with bad @$$ storms like those other states. 

OMG I can't tell you how disappointed I'm from real estate agent which is really a thing I don't wan!!!

@Kathy Creighton-Smith, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the metric that captures the entire picture of the total return of owning real estate. 

Before, I lived in my ADU and had to wait to refinance before seeing real savings.

Recently, my husband and I sold our home in TX with one objective - to kick off our real estate investment journey.
