Once you do that, then you start to figure out the best path.

It worked for me in the past getting started 2016-2018 but I have not seen any deals (at least in FL) I would take the risk in terms of money and time.Best of luck!

I am very new to this whole real estate world, and would not even know where to start when it comes to this type of financing.

When I first started my real estate journey in 2018 and started listening to BiggerPockets Real Estate podcasts, I was only familiar with Cash on Cash return.Once I actually entered the game in 2020, I quickly realized that there were many more calculations to take into consideration:ROI - Return on InvestmentROE - Return on EquityIRR - Internal Rate of ReturnEM - Equity MultipleCap Rate - Capitalization RateCoC - Cash on Cash ReturnAAR - Average Annual Return(I’m sure I'm missing some)I still struggle to juggle all of these calculations today.Developers, syndicators, flippers, etc., will all have different preferences.Which key calculations do you prioritize on when analyzing your deals?

So I started these last 2 flips and finished the renovations within 45 days. 

Everyone has their own process, but I recommend starting in excel with a unique ranking system based on the inputs that concern you the most.

From the beginning it was cash flowing more than it is now but because insurance & HOA went up I started breaking even for almost a year.

The Nashville/Central TN market has been hot but is starting to cool, but rates are now down, giving me hope.

All the original people who I started out with have been moved to a different position or moved on to other opportunities. 

The properties I am looking at are more than affordable for my income and would still allow me to save between 30-40% of my monthly income.
