really liked it

** spoiler alert ** Great for a new investor but for someone who’s seasoned perhaps not the best read.

The average millionaire has 7 streams of income.

Adopt a new mindset.

The main fundamental to follow to avoid pain in a recession is to buy real estate for cash flow rather than to flip it for a one time profit.

“Ghost expenses” - loopholes and incentives in the US tax code to at allows real estate investors to write off.

Don’t bend your rules on flipping - to make the numbers work.

Realtor is service based business than a real estate business

Underwriting - fancy word for analyzing

Inflation - every year, the value of the dollar is supposed to go down by 2%.

2% increase in rent per year minimum

The cap rate tells us what % of the purchase price the NOI is going to be over a 12 month period

Accelerated depreciation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1031 - when you sell your property you have 45 days to identify a replacement property and 180 days to actually buy the property you say you are going to. The purchase price of the propertie(s) you buy has to more than the sales price of the property you sold.

If you can only identify 3 potential properties, if more you have to buy them all or pay all your taxes ⭐️

Interest paid = interest rate/12 x balance

Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.

Value add investing ⭐️

Time value of money - a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow

IRR - need to get more familiar with.

Mortgage constant - 12x monthly payments / loan amount

Need Cash on cash higher, as well as cap rate higher

Potential gross income = monthly rent x number of unit

Accredited investors - $200k a year as single, $300k married (need to make that)

Knowledge without action is useless. Get out of your comfort zone and take action today!
