I don’t really understand this formula or any of the stuff yet , but I’m writing down things. 

I have quite a few off market Raytown deals available as well. happy to chat anytime

Some people use their IRA to fund fix and flip's and keep the profit in them tax free. 

I have recently started writing down addresses of run down or abandoned properties that I would like to purchase, but I only have the owner's name.

If you sell it, you get $250k single / $500k married exemptions from capital gains.Speak with a tax professional about how much you'll save in taxes by doing this. 

Besides lists from the tax assessor, how are you finding your deals?  

I haven't bought a deal or anything I'm still saving up, I'm at 25k I'll hopefully be ready to buy in the next three years, otherwise the city I'm buying in is Barrie which is generally a great appreciation market, I've got two brothers Chris owns two rental properties and Ryan just bought his first partnering up with my brother chrises second deal, so I might partner up for my first deal I don't know yet tho depends on what my brothers want to do.when shopping properties I do remember from the book you shouldn't buy properties based off cap rates but im wondering at the beginning do you first skim this information say the property is listed at a 6% cap rates which is common in the Barrie market would I then would go walk the property and see if things are viably ok, once I believe it's resdy for a professional inspection I'll get information about deferred maintenances mainly capex based off what I need to repier I'll be walking the property with the professional and I guess he'll give me a rough cost of How much everything that is needed and when I need to get the work done due dates, also I don't know how to calculate how much I should set aside in monthly terms after I get the required information from the inspector I'll be doing this for the first time, if the pure cash flow is incheck  I believe usually NOI is usually around 60% including appreciation and mortgage income andone going deferred maintenances around 35-40%, now I'm ready to make an offer?

I own 19 properties in Rhode Island and have found the Eastern CT market to have Rents just as high as Rhode Island with property prices 60% less and taxes 50% less.
