What sets apart your everyday real estate investor from an investing expert? While novice investors are focused on cash flow only, veteran landlords focus on something worth much, much more. Thankfully, even if you’re just getting started on your investing journey, you don’t have to go through the hard work that experts like Dave Meyer and J Scott went through. Instead, you can hear their time-tested advice today, and grab their new book Real Estate by the Numbers!
J, a techie turned master flipper has written numerous books on estimating rehab costs, calculating real estate deals, and recession-proof investing. Dave, our VP of Data and Analytics and host of On the Market, has been head-down in housing market data for the past decade. These two real estate investing juggernauts combined their knowledge to write a book that lets every investor, no matter their skill level, find better deals, calculate profits smarter, and build wealth faster.
In this episode, we talk about calculating cash flow, ROI, and other metrics that may, or may not, matter as much as you’d think. You’ll hear how these two experts use much more than the numbers to define which deals are worth buying. After this episode, you may look at your portfolio differently, or even think about selling some of the properties you thought were “winners” before!
In This Episode We Cover:
The math behind the real estate deal and which metrics matter more than most
Calculating which properties work best for your portfolio
Defining your “buy box” and using it to filter through deals so you can build wealth faster
Why your property’s ROI (return on investment) might be even better than you think
How to start thinking like an investing expert and the lump sum vs. cash flow debate
Understanding the time value of money and how it’ll make you richer quicker
And So Much More!
