And when you do the math, it's way more than I've ever heard of anyone cash flowing a month.

When understand this, we can look at the math of things and see a known mathematical course of what inflation is, and will be, for coming years and decades. 

Hey @Junior Maravel , props to you for doing your homework before jumping in.

I recommend you do homework on trusts as well

It's also a good idea to do your homework on who you end up doing novations with as well. .Your comment: "To prevent it: record a memo against title and include clear remedies if seller defaults.

Hey Mark, sounds like you’re doing all the right homework.

A few quick do’s and don’ts from my experience:Do’s:- Do your homework on local zoning and licensing requirements early, it saves a ton of time.- Do build relationships with the right professionals.- Do run conservative numbers so you’re prepared for any surprises.Don’ts:- Don’t skip due diligence just because the deal looks good on paper.- Don’t underestimate the importance of solid systems and tenant screening, it makes or breaks operations.- Don’t try to do everything yourself; having a good team matters.Every market has its nuances, but those basics apply everywhere.

We buy 100s of properties a year, typically one-by-one, and if I can't do the math on a piece of paper I won't do it.

Hey Justin,Solid breakdown — sounds like you’ve done your homework.

I think a GOOD realtor who helps their clients buy rental property real estate should always help run the math with them.
