Joey Garrett Interest rate question
13 September 2018 | 5 replies
I, wholeheartedly, agree with what both @Russell Brazil and @Joe Villeneuve said.  88% leverage, 3.5% fixed, amortized over 30 years for 5 year money is, frankly, unheard of in today's market and very cheap money.

Samuel Carmichael 50% Rule - how much Cashflow per door after?
9 September 2018 | 7 replies
@Samuel Carmichael besides what @Brandon Ingegneri said about looking at absolute dollar amounts to figure out if it's even worth the aggravation, I also agree with @Michinori Kaneko about looking at percentages.Personally I look at percentages first, namely 1) cash on cash return (yearly money back after all expenses including mortgage, divided by all money invested to get it rentable) and 2) debt service coverage ratio (net income after operating expenses but before mortgage payment, divided by the mortgage payment).The first is (obviously) a measure of return, while the second is more of a measure of risk as it tells you how much of a buffer you have between the property's net income and the monthly fixed mortgage payment.After you get a little more experience you'll also start to factor things like replacement reserves into account.
