Whether you're a seasoned expert or just starting, I believe we can all learn something new from each other.

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).

My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

Hi All - I live in New York and looking to start investing in Ohio or PA.

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! 

This obviously puts us in a tight spot as we have work scheduled to start soon and need the loan to finance the rehab.My question for lenders is, can her Mom take out a home equity loan on the inherited property of which she is listed as a lifetime estate tenant without the consent of my girlfriend (co-owner)?

I want to learn, then start REI myself.

Hi all,Congrats on starting your real estate journey! 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.
