Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Hi prosperous people. I am new and excited having read several forums and LL investing books & about to make 1st investment. Math is not my best quality however, I do understand cash flow and net operating cost etc but I do not know what purchase price to invest in a property according to rents & expenses. I would like a formula where I could input the numbers and come up with the maximum purchase amount in relation to rents and expenses to make profit.
Sorry I know I should be able to gather this information from what I read but I need it spelled out in simple language
Thanks, good karma

RE: What purchase amount is good 4 a LL
Some landlords use the 1% rule. Which means that if you pay $100,000 for a property you should receive $1,000 in rent. I think that is a good basic formula to go by. I use the formula on this site under resources. With this formula you can compare several properties price/rent and find out which one provides the best return.
