What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash
Flow...
And 36 Other Key Financial Measures:
Guidelines, Formulas, and Rules of Thumb for Making Money
in Real Estate
2nd Edition
Can a book filled with numbers possibly be exciting? If you’re
truly interested in real estate investing then you must first
realize that investing in income properties is all about the
numbers. It's about discounted cash flow and rates of return
and net operating income and cap rates. If you understand how
these and other key concepts work, then you’re on your way to
success – and that’s exciting.
I also believe you'll find the presentation of this material
entertaining. I sought to write this in a way that would make
it accessible to beginners and professionals alike.
I present more than three dozen key concepts and calculations.
The book is peppered with "Rules of Thumb" that you can use
as benchmarks when you evaluate potential investment properties.
I also provide numerous examples and sample problems that you
can use to check your understanding. As you progress you’ll
learn how to read a property’s vital signs and how to put financial
concepts to work for successful investing in real estate.
As important as these financial measures are, some can be tedious
to perform manually. For those I show you how to use simple
spreadsheet models to accomplish those tasks. I also provide
you with a link to a special website we created where readers
of the book can download many of these models as well as other
valuable tools.
I hope that you'll find many good ideas here and that you'll
use what you learn to help you make solid investment choices.
