Episode notes

You could spend HOURS breaking down deals for cash flow, cash-on-cash return, return on investment, price-to-rent ratio, and countless other metrics. What do these terms mean, and which one is most important when analyzing rental properties? Today, we’ll show you how to streamline this process so you can check out MORE deals!

In this Rookie Reply, you’ll learn how to analyze deals the right way, find off-market properties without spending a dime, and make offers on properties you haven’t seen. We also get into house hacking and why covering your mortgage payment isn’t necessary for a great deal. Finally, stick around until the end for the inside scoop on our hosts’ most recent ventures. Tony spills the beans on his first commercial property, while Ashley shares about the “pocket listing” she landed in the city!
