You can know HOW to evaluate a deal but if you don't know your market, you won't know the numbers to plug in the formulas.

These models commonly have weaknesses by either being too simple for the complex analysis needed for sophisticated transactions, or even contain errors in the formulas that haven’t been weeded out yet. 

My husband and I recently took the flipping formula 3 day advanced course and are excited to begin investing.

Well, first, understand that my capitalization rate on my investment is totally irrelevant to anyone buying it, it's pure marketing eye wash because your cap rate will never be the same as mine.There is an inverse relationship to price, a high cap rate used lowers the price, a low cap rate increases price.This can be looked at on your financial calculator, enter a loan formula, loan amount, period and interest rate, solve for any variable like the payment, now increase the interest rate and solve for the present value or loan amount, you'll see that it is lower, lower the rate and you'll see the loan amount increase.

My rationale is that if I use the same formula for all my properties I can make my systems more efficient therefore scaleable.

I wholesale properties and am finding there is another formula for multi units. 

Roger,Lets run some numbers and see what we have...Purchase Price : 60kDown payment : 9kLoan Amount : 51kInterest : 5.25%Term : 15 yrMonthly Pmt : 409.97  (Annual 4919.64)This gives you a loan constant of : 9.6%   (Formula for LC = $4919.64 / 51,000)What does this mean to you...??  

@Jeremy Hunsberger When it comes to determining my offer price, to acquire a distressed house, for flipping, I use the following formula to determine my Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO).

If you are interested in a HUD home and it has not sold the best formula is to keep making the same offer (day in and day out).

I am familiar with a few formulas as well as rules but what are formulas that are associated with a deeper analysis of a rental's potential profit yield, specifically for SFR's??
