Based on the above numbers I have the following:1 - NCF (after you move out) = $31,200/yr ($31.2/$100k in PV)2 - Equity in property = $450k3 - Over 14 years of current CF to = current equity4 - Equity to PV ratio = 1 to 2.2...all this means you are losing money.After selling the property, you would have the following numbers:1 - Using cash from sale ($370k...assuming 8% closing costs) for new property at Equity to PV at 1 to 5 (20% DP)2 - New PV = $1.85M3 - New potential CF, based on $31.2/$100k in PV = $57,720/yr4 - 6.4 years to recover DP ($370k)

*not so long ago even $500 down would work for some off market deals as far as earnest money goes, but now with numerous offers being made on a single deal within hours, earnest money (how much ‘good faith’ you’re really investing) amounts have changed some and to be clear this would change your cash to close amount (%) Earnest money for more of an end user ready(minor cosmetic/updating needed) buy and hold for example would be much closer to 1% Appraisal - this is going to be up to you as the cash buyer (because you’re not required to get one for a loan remember) $300-$400Inspection - using a 4 point or 5 point ‘investor’ inspection (especially if you’re not here yourself for due diligence) $200- $800 usually, depending on size of property Survey- not required to have, but it may be useful to know exactly where you’re lot loans are (may be required for some rehabs) around $800 or lessTitle insurance- generally around $1K, but again depends on property value and if it’s transferable that could save you $ (sometimes if two years old or less)Title search - you’ll want this to make sure you’re getting a clear title and it’s going to run $100- $250Attorney fees- won’t be required here in Indy for example, but keep in mind these rates if you choose to use oneEscrow fees- this depends on which escrow company you use, but I’m going to include images of a mock sale here in Indy to show you an example of a company for Indiana closing costs would be just about 1% of the purchase price, up to 3% when you factor in inspection, survey, insurance, etc.

Evina Nonato Should I buy in this crazy housing market?
3 May 2021 | 14 replies
So, I should recover the money I am paying for capital gains in less than 2 years and even though I lost the future appreciation from the Las Vegas properties I will still come out even or doo better since I am getting a $2 million line of credit I will use to purchase properties at auctions and hope to make about $500k per year flipping house without working too hard.I am definitely not the smartest investor when it comes to leveraging my money and I know I could have made several million dollars more if I did a 1031 and purchased an apartment building in Los Angeles, but I don't function well when I am pressured when I put myself in a risky position.I always feel that when investors leverage their money their empire can come crashing down like dominoes when one property goes south.
