Mike Carstens How do I enter the appreciation of value after a refi & cash out?
10 October 2017 | 11 replies
Here's the thing - adding an additional line to show an appreciation would not make it more accurate since the value of a property fluctuates.My assumption is that you want to see how well this property is doing.You basically need to do a project income statement and get the cap rate. 
Scott Walsh Help! Am I Being Stupid?
9 October 2017 | 6 replies
Once I get them up to $500, cap rate becomes 16.7%, cash ROI is 49.9%, and annual cash flow is $10,916 ($113/month/door).Are my estimates way off? 
Jessica Chow Suspicious about sellers agent on first rental property purchase
9 October 2017 | 10 replies
It was never communicated to our agent until after the offer was accepted that the tenant is not happy with the new rent price and may move out ASAP.The sellers agent also told us only now that the tenant has been difficult to work with on scheduling showings and now the inspection, even though they already knew that the house was being sold.Then, the sellers agent asked us if we would be interested in using their own property management's service.I don't have any specific questions, but want to get anyone else's take on whether this is a suspicious situation, either with the tenant or with the sellers agent.
Frederic Babeux Investing in farmland?
29 October 2017 | 16 replies
There are a ton of investors in San Francisco and NY accepting minuscule Cap Rates, because they've been seeing so much appreciation.Since depreciation is out (BTW no depreciation on land in the States either) you're really only left with appreciation (assuming no CF) and mortgage pay down.

Allyson Gehring Best Florida counties for rental properties
27 November 2017 | 4 replies
I have my first and only (for the moment) rental property right in the smack middle of Miami-Dade county and was able to acquire a great cash flow duplex.My advice is... always do a deal analysis; purchase comps + rental market comps.This will give you an idea of what your cap rate should be.PS: Anyone that passes by this post, I am currently seeking multi family/distressed SFH props in the Miami-Dade/Broward County area.
Carol Bloom Investors with 10+ years of experience are you sitting it out?
9 October 2017 | 5 replies
If I can pick up houses at 70% of the ARV or even a couple at 75% of the ARV (I wouldn't do too many there), that will generate 400 to 500 gross rental profits (i.e. before repairs/cap ex), then I'm going to continue to do it.I thought they were completely gone and then I hit on 2 in a month.
Joshua Musquez Should I get an LLC for my first deal
9 October 2017 | 7 replies
I believe it would be very difficult for me to separate myself from direct liability from issues resulting from the property, as I am a direct manager of the property (it's almost absurd to think that I will never perform any managerial tasks or be responsible for the same as a live-in owner-occupant).
