I'm trying to use the rental calculator to crunch numbers on the property to really measure expectations and see what the best case scenario is.

Golf.When you flip, the first "expense" you always include/calculate is your profit.When you buy a rental, the first thing you always include/calculate is your cash flow.When you do anything in life that leads to the ability to enjoy that life, the first thing you do is "enjoy that life".What am I saying?

Hi all,Doing research for my first deal (still).There doesn't seem to be a "method" to calculate returns on properties- at least not like traditional rentals (50% rule, 1% rule, etc.)

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

If I buy a SFR in Denver how much appreciation should I account for when calculating IRR?

If you’re wholesaling in your home market you probably already know the hot zip codes.You calculate the ARV on a property when you’re getting ready to make an offer.So the main goal of driving for dollars is to identify potential distressed properties that you can market to.After you contact the owner and they show interest in selling then you do some deeper research on ARV, repairs, etc

How are you calculating rents and how are you calculating costs?

Finally, BP has various tools available to help you analyze your deals (rental, flips, wholesale, etc), feel free to use them: https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators Please let me know if I can help, and best of luck!

I do all the work so only cost outside of materials will be permits, utilities hookups, part time labour which I calculated in my estimate.

My calculations (nerd) say the ARV could be over 100k.
