Single Family Houses

SFH Investment Analysis (Part 3)

July 2, 2008

In some previous posts, I laid out a quick-and-dirty business and financial model for a real estate company that bought, rehabbed, and sold/rented single family homes full-time. My goal was to determine whether this could be a potentially lucrative undertaking, as my fiancee would love to get into the “house flipping” game (she’d be happy […]

Cash Flow Analysis for SFHs

July 1, 2008

In my last post, I discussed the two major investing philosophies among SFH investors: Cash Flow vs Appreciation. As I mentioned at the end of that post, I tend to focus on the cash flow side of the investment, and hope that appreciation takes care of itself in the long run. So, that said, I […]

Last week, my fiancee and I started driving around parts of west Atlanta looking at apartment buildings and apartment complexes that are currently on the market.
