The MAO formula (70% of ARV Minus Repairs Minus Wholesale_Fee) only makes sense for fix-and-flip deals.For rental deals, you'll need to calculate the metrics that matter to a landlord, starting with Cash Flow and Cash-on-Cash-return.To do this you'll need to estimate Income and Operating Expenses to get Net Operating Income (NOI).

I took a tax sale attorney to breakfast and he told me all that I felt I needed to get started.

I asked him about it and he said he didn’t do that.So I started looking at DSCR loans for this property in TN. 

I'm particularly passionate about starting my journey and finding the best markets, but above most having fun and gaining experience along the way! 

I want to learn, then start REI myself.

If you're considering multiple markets look at the apartment and SFH inventory, starts, and vacancy rates. 

Great job starting at such a young age.
