How to Get into Real Estate

Most people lose money in real estate for one reason. They buy before they understand how to judge a deal. Have you looked at properties and felt unsure why one looks better than another? Do the numbers feel confusing, even when the rent seems high? Do loan options sound similar but lead to very different outcomes? Many people want rental income but feel stuck. Advice online skips steps or assumes too much. Some books focus on fast wins that depend on rare situations. Others explain ideas without showing how decisions play out with actual numbers. This book starts earlier than that. It focuses on moving away from guessing and toward using numbers to decide what to buy, where to buy, and how much to pay. It shows how markets differ, why some properties are easier to manage than others, and how financing choices change results over time. In this book, you will learn how to: Choose markets using data instead of assumptions Compare single-family homes with small multifamily properties Calculate income, expenses, and returns with simple examples Test deals using basic spreadsheet methods Understand loan options for first-time buyers Review BRRRR deals step by step See how rent, expenses, loan terms, and taxes affect income Screen tenants using set standards that follow the law Handle daily management tasks and maintenance requests Keep records organized for tax filing Move from one property to several units at a pace you can handle By the end of this book, you will be able to review a property and understand why it works or why it does not.
