Real Estate Investing Success 101

What type of investment are you looking for?

1. Identify your strategy

Rehab or Flipper

Rental Income (Cash-flow Property)

Long Term Price Appreciation

2. Now that you know your strategy its time to formulate a plan of action

Develop an exit strategy before you do anything else (ex. How will I rent out or sell this home?)

Establish a Budget for what you want to achieve

Set aside reserves for unforeseen circumstances

Know your market (ex. How much are properties in the retail market selling for or renting for)

3. Investing Models

Cash-Flow Model- Building a portfolio of cash flow houses can provide great returns maximize equity through appreciation

Cost = Acquisition Cost + Repair Cost

Income = (Monthly Rent - Expense) x 12

ROI = Income/Cost

Equity- Restoring distressed property is the fastest way to increase equity

Cost = Acquisition Cost + Repair Cost

Equity ($) = ARV - Cost

Equity (%) = ARV/Equity ($)
