One of my favorite real estate books when I first started was " the Wholesailing bible" and one of my favorite non real estate books is "the compound effect" both are definitely worth a read.

I value his opinion on this stuff and it's something that I've tried to remember as I'm looking through these deals.

Is it worth it to sign up for foreclosure.com?  

If you're not planning on living on site, then it's probably worth it if you've got no interest in being a landlord. 

I can give you all kinds of metrics -- it's time for me to turn that into building my own net worth, too!

I usually google average mortgage APR and put that number in there any investor worth his salt will know his typical Percentage from the lender he is working with and will factor that in when he sees your report.

The property is worth 210k and I owe about 140k on it.I have another 80k saved up and would like to put about 60k towards my next property (leaving 20k for emergency funds, rehabs, personal fund etc.)I have zero debt (no student loans, no car payment) outside of the HELOC I had to purchase the first property I stated above and most of my living expenses are paid by my employer (car, gas, cell phone).I am based out of Central Pennsylvania and am looking to stay somewhat locally for my first few properties (Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Lancaster, Hershey etc.) and am not really interested in out of state investing.Just looking for some advice or input on what you would do next if you were in my situation,Any input and info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

With that math I am seeing that my property should be worth $280 -$300k when I am finished and fully occupied.

If you invest in the medium and understand the scale you need to reach in order to make it worth the while.  

The house is worth around $140k.I have a job making a little over $100k a year.
