Sabrina Inem Real Estate Investing - Akron Ohio Area

Think about 1- the out-of-pocket expenses (almost everyone gets this wrong)...and include all costs very conservatively...this includes things like the down payment, the inspection, appraisal, prepaids, points, closing costs, etc (find a good closing cost estimator or contact a local title agent to get buyer costs in your area)...and the extension of that is the condition of the property and needed repairs...if repairs are needed, that cash is coming out of your pocket....and you are paying property taxes, utility bills, to keep the yard up, etc...holding costs can grow very quickly if you run into renovation delays. 2- the relationship between the income the property produces and the purchase price. 3- realistic operating expenses...we've been able to run almost everything we manage at 20-30% of income...this isn't easy...most properties operate at 40-50% of income. 4- your goals...since you are a smart investor, you are not basing your decisions on cash flow, you are looking at long-term value, appreciation, debt-paydown, and most important, equity.That said, if you are buying a $60k property with no repairs, occupied at $800/mo. and operating at 40% of income, your ROI is through the roof on paper...but finding your true ROI is a more difficult task.What numbers are you using to analyze this one?

Jon Baker Pittsburg in Atlanta
15 February 2021 | 5 replies
Not sure if it's out of state investors that aren't familiar with the area or the allure of the Pittsburgh yards/beltline nearby but I would say that a majority of Pittsburgh is not great and there are significantly better areas for the prices I see in Pittsburgh.
Grayson Lynum Rental property break in!
3 February 2021 | 1 reply
There’s many ways to deter break ins, even just basic yard signs that say “secured by XYZ security” and putting up a fake camera can do wonders.
