I’ve always done side hustles on top of nursing and just recently dived deep in real estate and I’m loving the learning process.

I also have a google sheet that has more details if anyone wants to dive into this.

I'll step off the soapbox now and say again, I think it's smart to dive in.

@Patrick SoukupGood question.My 50% ratio is used simply for a down and dirty quick assessment of a property to see if it is worth diving into at a deeper level.In addition to the expenses you list:There are often utility costs, landscaping costs, advertising costs, administrative and accounting costs, legal fees, unit turn costs, probably forgetting a few, etc - so they all add up.

Dig deeper for deals not every one is on top of. 

It good to ask them what are the different things they do in a project and what things are expected of you.We could go a lot deeper, but does that help?

If, like many houses, that crack has been there like forever and hasn't gotten any deeper/thicker than like an eighth of an inch, run down to your local home improvement store, buy a small container of wall patch, sand paper, a putty knife, some matching paint and a paintbrush.

Given the current circumstances I believe it will take me a lot longer to finish a books before I can actually start investing or diving into real estate!

What is a great way I can build deeper connections with serious buyers that make offers to reasonable if not favorable deals 75% of ARV minus repairs or lower with 10+ cap rates? 

My advise is to dive into the forums and listen to the podcasts.
