Just the other day I got an email about an investment property and as I quickly scrolled through it my eyes jumped to the monthly cash flow that the property generated almost it knocked my socks off!

My first thought was, what am I doing wrong. But then I took a second and looked at the numbers more

I've talked about this in a recent blog , and just want to dig a little deeper into this huge issue that many new investors encounter by actually breaking down the numbers. Case in point... Here was an email I received from an investing Realtor recently promoting a potential investment property. At first, I was blown away, thinking, man, how is this property getting such amazing cash flow. My prop

There are so many different calculations that are thrown around when you are investing or are thinking of investing in real estate. I remember researching for hours trying to figure out which one I should be using and what they meant.

I use to wake up every day and just go with it. No plan, no agenda, sit down at my desk and whatever popped into my mind that I want to work on, I would. For a couple of months, I had no plan at all.

When I quit to become a Realtor, my schedule was always filled with showing homes, or marketi

Over the past 5 years of investing in real estate, I’ve learnt my lesson about the hidden costs when you invest in real estate, which are, repairs & maintenance (R&M) and vacancies As a result, when I invest in properties these days, I don’t mess around, I use realistic numbers, so that I don’t overpay for a property. Why do I do this. Because when I’m analyzing a property to purchase, if I use the Realtors numbers, which as I talked about in the Hidden Costs When Investin
