Hello My Fellow Investors:I have been analyzing deals and crunching numbers on MF properties.

I'll use that info to crunch my numbers again and see if it is a fit for us.

I crunched the numbers on a napkin real quick and saw how I could pay off my home over a longer period of time, but reinvest the money from a cash out refi into other cash flowing appreciating RE.

Of course, if your mortgage payment is PITI (including taxes and insurance) you can nix those from the above list....and likewise, if you're managing it yourself you can lose the prop management fee.When I don't know much about the property and am just crunching numbers I'll use 8-10% for vacancy rate, 8% for property management, and 5% for each of capex and maintenance (total of 10% for both).If I know the property is new construction I'll use a smaller number for capex and maintenance - if the property is old, I may figure a bit more.

Hi all, I've crunched the numbers and looked at my options, and a HELOC sounds like the best option by far for me to leverage my first rental property in order to expand and get more.

Whatever you want to do post your number, first, lets have a look and don't forget that a huge chunk of your mortgage payment is applied to the principal and this makes a huge difference when crunching your numbers.But...I still try to stay away from single-family homes when the home will not appreciate in value, substantially, but as a previous BP member posted, you still may be better off buying than renting if that is your only choice and cannot buy an investment property that generates a profit almost exponentially compared to a single family home for your personal residence.

I put several videos on youtube and there is a wealth of information showing how I do my marketing, crunch numbers, where to get free leads, how to import leads, create mail lists, do telemarketing, bulk email, direct mail and you can download the software for free with no monthly fees and no sales pitches.My goal is to have other investors constantly improve the software the same as Share Ware where every investor benefits from each other's efforts.You can find my most recent video and additions to the software on youtube by searchingFree Real Estate Marketing Software blprei 12 05 21 and search for multi-units blprei.Hopefully, this does not conflict with BP's terms.

I like how they crunch the numbers between 2 props and then decide what they are going to do. 2 things cause me pause. 1.

If you want your offer accepted in todays market you really need to be able to close in 21-30 days.I also have an awesome spreadsheet that I use in order to crunch the numbers on investment properties to help decide whether my clients should move forward on a property or not.

My ARV is half of what it was before and now I am trying to crunch the numbers and its just not possible and we are possibly not going to be able to get this property under contract.
