If you’re going to be serious about real estate investing, it’s imperative that you understand the numbers behind your deals.
That’s why I’ve always stressed my mantra, “First do the math, then do the deal.” I’m glad to help you simplify that task with my books, my online video courses, and my Excel-based software.
But maybe you’d like to just put a toe in the water first.
In a potential real estate deal, there can be any number of metrics that can help guide you toward a successful and profitable outcome. And some may be more useful than others.
You can find plenty of in-depth help my books, courses, and software, but if you’re just starting out, here’s s “starter kit” — a brief ebook called, 5 Metrics Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know.
Spoiler alert: These are by no means the only metrics you should understand before you whip out your checkbook, but these are few good ones to start with.
