The capitalization rate, a.k.a the–cap rate–is a way of measuring the ratio between cash flows an real estate investment property and the purchase price, or alternatively its current fair market value. Here is the formula for the cap rate:

* annual cash flow / cost (or value) = Capitalization Rate

For example, if a building is purchased for $500,000 and it produces $50,000 in positive net cash flow (costs are subtracted from gross income) during a year, then:

* $50,000 / $500,000 = 0.10 = 10%

The capitalization rate is ten percent.

The capitalization rate is measuring how fast an investment will pay back the original purchase price. from net cash flows. In the example above, the purchased building will be fully capitalized (pay for itself) after five years (100% divided by 10%). If the capitalization rate were 5%, the payback period would be twenty years.

qarchive.org is a huge archive of software. Recently the giant went on a cleaning spree, and boy did they ever get rid of some junk. I remember not to long ago I could hardly find anything useful. I’m not saying they didn’t have useful software. I’m saying it was hard to find anything useful because of all the junk in the way. I suppose large archives get hit pretty bad. Although, they worked very hard getting rid of adult content and other content found in their servers. Now that it is all cleaned out, I bet the site runs much smoother. I just wanted to say thanks because now I might actually get things done. Great Job!

Finding a local real estate attorney you can count on could prove challenging. You could open your phone book and try to wade through the pile, or you could use find an attorney. I have been saved by this service so many times. Because I invest in real estate all over the country, it was impossible for me to just fly into a city and find an attorney I could count on–and that limited my abilities in that market.

I don’t have that problem anymore because I use these professionals:

A “Bird-Dog” is someone who finds Real Estate investment opportunities, then puts the property under contract and assigns that same contract to another investor–maybe a rehabber–for a fee. A good Bird-Dog will have an army of professionals in the business on standby. It’s not only important to have rehabber’ available to flip the property too, it’s just as important to have all of your note buyers, appraisers, insurance agents, title companies, and other knowledgeable individuals available to help you succeed. If you think you can just work without them–or maybe pick them up along the way–you couldn’t be more wrong. These contacts must be made before you even consider buying your first investment property.
