Does the 50% rule apply to single family homes? If so, what is a good cash flow spread to expect? The property I am looking at will probably yield about $250/month cash flow according to the 50% rule. Is this enough?

When you say 50% for "expenses", and the rest can cover "mortgage", are you putting interest, taxes, and insurance in the "Expenses" and the "Mortgage" is really just principal?

When using the 50% and 2% rule of thumbs in evaluating properties I intend to BRRR, do I use the purchase price or the loan value after I re finance for that estimate?

Hey!Is the 50% rule accurate enough for someone to rely on it when analyzing a multifamily deal? What exactly are the expenses one incurs with a multifamily property?Thanks!
