Mathematics in Real Estate (for beginners)

[James Casella]

Hello all,

I recently attended one of Brendan's webinars, upgraded to pro, read his no money down book and I'm currently in his rental property book. I'm new to REI and would like to better my game at every level. One thing I notice the most is the repetitiveness of crunching the numbers to figure out what a good deal is. I was wondering if anyone with experience had any tools, websites etc that one could practice on that shows deals and breaks them down further. I want to make sure I'm doing the math correctly before implementing it to the outside. I appreciate all your time and efforts in advance!

Respectfully,

James Casella

Thank you, Joe. I'm trying to implement a strategy to get everything rationalized before jumping in. Reading several books, listening to podcasts and asking others such as yourself for input has been a great help.

Rationalization is the most expensive word in a REI vocabulary...never use it again.
