I'm learning alot but I am still confused on what numbers I need to calculate in order to determine if a property will make a good investment.

@AJ SmithYou can use the rehab estimator In the tools drop down for calculating estimates if you are uncomfortable determining rehab cost.  

@Jason Riddick, Hey Jason, I just wanted to add that when some people are suggesting using AirBnb to help you determine competitive pricing to maximize your rental income, I don't believe that they are suggesting using the AirBnb automated pricing tool. 

I think it should be a conversation between you and your investor to determine what both of you will be happy with.

Once you identify a property (under contract or not), the lender will then evalate the specific property to determine the amount they will lend on the property. 

I'm new to RE and I'm interested to buy property for long-term hold & keep with cash-flow in mind.The issue is I don't have time nor expertise to analyze properties across the country and determine which can cash-flow.I don't mind compensating an experienced manager to do this work + help manage the property.

@Okemah Mason One of most important things to learn is understanding and determining ARV!

What are you using to determine that ARV ?

How do you determine the rent amount?

Any other tips/suggestions on how to determine good rental locations in particular?
