Greetings,I'm just getting started with real estate.

Plus, gave us the real estate, STR bug.

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?

And that long term approach is how I see real estate benefiting the average person.To your point of not benefiting STR I slightly disagree, while this doesn't directly change STR rules I think it allows a potential for more STRs, again, if you're willing to make some sacrifices. 

I’ve been working in property management/real estate since 2020 and really want to try my hand at starting my own company.

Hey @Amy Kim, a real estate agent can help you find a tenant unless you want them to manage the property afterwards?

@Jane Trust Ryan,Welcome to Huntsville and the world of real estate!

The National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG) is really easy to work with and doesn't require repairs like that usually.

However, if you are going to take advantage of cost segregation, I would recommend working with a CPA that specializes in real estate such as Michael, Ashish, etc. or I'd be happy to provide additional recommendations rather than doing it yourself through turbo tax.Here's an article with additional FAQs on cost segregation studies that you may find helpful.

Any advice is greatly appreciated :) Daniel - I've been in RE development my entire career and started my company in 2015 in CA.
