50 Real Estate Investing Calculations
By Michael Lantrip
Real Estate Investing offers you four huge benefits that other forms of investing do not- Cash Flow, Asset Appreciation, Financial Leverage, and Special Tax Treatment. But your success will depend on how well you estimate these items before you purchase a property, and how well you manage them after you purchase.
A basic rule of Business Management is “In order to manage, you must first measure.” And that’s the purpose of Real Estate Investing Calculations. They are essentially the Rules For Real Estate Investing.
One of the few regrets you will ever express in your Real Estate Investing career is “I wish I’d known that earlier.” But this is not a Spreadsheet that magically creates numbers that you use to risk your entire investment.
This is a Book. It will teach you how to generate these numbers yourself, and explain their meanings. And you will actually have to type in the URLs to access the free Calculators. Oh, horrors!
Welcome.
Anna’s Review – 3 Stars
Michael Lantrip offers an intricate look into the reality of real estate investment calculations. Regardless of your comprehension of them, these formulas affect you whether you own or desire to own any real estate investment.
You can use this book as a great reference tool for numbers you are figuring out in your current or potential investments.
As a non-finance person, this book was not an easy read for me. A lot of the terminology was new. The content seemed to circle back often. It felt repetitive at times. For a beginner like me, a Table of Contents would have been helpful.
Michael Lantrip’s knowledge is extensive. I respect how thoroughly he covered numerous aspects every investor will face. As a new investor myself, I will employ the formulas to support my future investment decisions.
