Had to use 4 different calculators, re-enter the same data each time, and manually compare results in a spreadsheet.My workflow:BiggerPockets calculator for conventionalFHA.com calculator for FHA loansRandom DSCR lender site for non-QMExcel to compare everything side-by-sideRip my hair out...I'm curious how everyone else handles this.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process, even though at times I wanted to tear my hair out :) . 

Debating one over the other is splitting hairs, if you ask me.

Now, if you run a title report and there is a lot of "hair" (liens, etc) on the deal, you wait until the auction because an auction will clear up a lot of the liens.Buying at auctin is a little more complex than most people think. 

Blood and hair samples?

That lien was sold off to a creditor for pennies on the dollar; however the original lien amount was for over $40,000.

That means their share of the gain/loss could be based on the original purchase price, which can create a split basis situation between you (inheriting your share at stepped-up FMV) and them (keeping their older basis).On the other hand, your portion that was inherited at your parents’ passing would get a step-up in basis to the fair market value at that time.

The original oil and gas investment proforma projected the following: a $75,000 W-2 tax deduction, a 3x return on investment (approximately 350% over 3–5 years), and an 8–12% annualized return (ARR) paid monthly.While the tax deduction did come through as expected, the actual monthly returns have been significantly lower.

I’m originally from Ohio and looking to diversify into the Columbus/Dayton market.I’m targeting stabilized 4+ unit multifamily between $800k - $2M (no heavy rehabs) in Grandview Heights, 5th by Northwest, German Village, and Short North.
