It's important to remember that some people will only come into your life for a reason or a season. The idea of leaving someone behind does not mean that you never speak to them again unless they are just truly toxic, but it means that you now define for yourself how you will allow them to utilize your time, energy and resources, if at all.  #Wisdom #Energy #Learning

To calculate the property’s ROI:  Divide the annual return ($9,600) by the amount of the total investment or $110,000. ROI = $9,600 ÷ $110,000 = 0.087 or 8.7%. Your ROI was 8.7%.  Calculating the ROI on financed transactions is more involved. The down payment needed for the mortgage was 20% of the purchase price of $20,000 ($100,000 sales price x 20%). Closing costs were higher, which is typical for a mortgage, totaling $2,500 upfront. You paid $9,000 for remodeling. Your total out-of-pocket expenses were $31,500 ($20,000 + $2,500 + $9,000).  There are also ongoing costs with a mortgage: Let's assume you took out a 30-year loan with a fixed 4% interest rate. On the borrowed $80,000 ($100,000 sales price minus the $20,000 down payment), the monthly principal and interest payment would be $381.93. We’ll add the same $200 a month to cover water, taxes, and insurance, making your total monthly payment $581.93. Rental income of $1,000 per month totals $12,000 for the year. Your monthly cash flow was $418.07 monthly ($1,000 rent - $581.93 mortgage payment).  #ROI #RealEstate #Underwriting

After you have narrowed down your search to one property, it’s time to make an offer. This is where your real estate agent will carry the load and where you will need your pre-approval letter to go with an earnest money deposit. Your offer should be contingent on an appraisal and on your financing.  This means that the property must appraise for at least the agreed-upon sales price, or you don’t have to purchase the property. This also means that if you were honest on your application and your loan doesn’t get approved through no fault of your own, you’ll get your deposit back.  Generally, your deposit is a “good faith” deposit, which takes the property off the market for you. Typically, 5% to 10% of the purchase price is a common deposit amount for some properties and it’s given to your agent to put in an escrow account until settlement. At that time, the title company disperses it to the seller.  An offer on a multifamily property usually has more contingencies than an offer on a single-family home because you’ll need to complete due diligence on the property’s rental history. This due diligence is a set time period, often 15 days, that the buyers will receive the rent roll, tenant payment history, utility bills and other reasonable documents that they can request and examine before deciding if they want to continue with their offer.  #RealEstate #Contract #Underwriting
