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?

Hi Ambrea,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.
