I also like using the cap rate in apartment complexes versus the comps used in house value and adding value with a greater return on apartments.

Hello still experimenting with this process of wholesaling and trying to find houses that would be a good fit for a local investor, so with that in mind I'm trying to find flipper uppers that will generate at least a 15% return for a flipper.

I am basically trying to determine what my net return will be, how much cash will be left over at the end of each month, etc.

I am very very new to real estate investing (been listening to a couple of episodes of bigger pockets over youtube).My main goal is to start building a second income, and buy more real-estate assets over time. i was think about buying a single/duplex with a friend together as my first investment will be a good start for me. i live in Israel. and real-estate here is very expensive here and its require a big investment just for my first asset, also the return rates are very very low.so my question is what do i need to do .- Do i need a back account in the US.

My opinion is that as long as that loan is making you a minimum return percentage after the debt payment is made. 

If it's super low like 4-5%, go plant it in a good mutual fund and get the same return without the hassle of being a landlord.

This does have some limitations in that cannot stop them from doing partial payments, which could be a problem if they are facing eviction, etc— but if this is an issue then I guess can just return the money to them without jeopardizing your eviction time frame etc, as long as you have clearly said that no partial payments accepted.

We believe our returns are better than straight renting, otherwise we wouldn't do it this way.
