Hey all investors,I'm curious to know what metric most of you are looking at when determining whether to pull the trigger on an investment. 

After a year of researching cities to purchase in, I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Multi in the city of St.

I have never changed the locks and the key she has still works to my knowledge.

Thats why I'm curious if there was a way to utilize my income currently to lock up a mortgage, yet, out of state.

That also helps to lock the contract in but also keeps the buyer safe from a scenario like this. 

Hello,I found this link to this short term rental calculator: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/STR-Calculator-V2-Locked-.xlsxIt is very helpful and appears to be a useful evaluation tool. 

(It doesn't seem like there is a huge spread here so I'm not eager to lock it up really, but I do want to help my friend)2.

I’ve came close to pulling the trigger, but never did.I currently have $100,000 available on a HELOC I will be using, and also have great credit for financing if needed. 

Now I’m up to 10 properties thanks to having my Roth locked and loaded to help me get in the game.

On the other side, my section 8 rental has been almost no work since I have a strong pm that takes care of everything and only calls when they need me to pull the trigger on a larger maintenance issue.
