I was actually just playing with the calculator on BP and came across a land contract deal from Zillow.

The last software that was PC only was TimeValue (a GREAT amort program), but with 10bii Financial Calculator on Mac, don't need TimeValue.

Please go thru my numbers and  i need help from expert opinion.I am missing lot of numbers in the whole transaction which i am not in a position to calculate now.

I think it’s pretty dangerous to start generalizing these things due to the exponential nature of what a spreadsheet calculation mistake could cost you.If you already have a process in place it’s pretty easy to see what it would look like at different scales but that needs to be defined from the beginning.

@Ed ZhaoThere are no true 20% cap properties available.Any calculations showing a 20% cap are flawed.The worse the location is, the more the tenants are financially challenged, the numbers will look better.

More importantly though, the first steps I would recommend as a new investor is to get a handle on analyzing the income, expenses and ROI of these properties in Bridgeport.You can use the Bigger Pockets calculators to start.

I have practiced using the calculators and there are terms I don’t understand and don’t know where to find the data.

Highly recommend if you’re disciplined and include the payments in your calculations.

And I also know that many schools use a financial aid calculator that does NOT exclude small family business assets, so probably an academic exercise at the end of the day...)
