FAR 180 Expected Air Date: 8/25/18 Opening We get one chance at this life. We owe it to ourselves to get it right. That doesn’t mean we should expect perfection. What it DOES mean is we should take enough time to think about what we are doing and where we are going to improve the quality of our decisions along the way. When it comes to real estate it’s easy to make a $10,000 mistake. But if you make enough of those you are going to wind up in trouble. Today we are going to help you get it right -- Get it right when you purchase a property. Get it right when you create a repair budget. Get it right when you make repairs. Get it right when you rent it out. Get it right when you sell it. You’ll find that if you’re willing to go to war with the details and get some things right, your business is going go better and let’s face it, if your business goes better, life goes better. In the news coming up we FINALLY have a reason to go to Baltimore. Ok, no offense to Pat Dornan with Ultimate Rehab Estimator, but Baltimore isn’t one of our favorite places to visit, but that’s about to change. I’ll tell you why coming up. Also today, the world’s largest Sovereign Wealth Fund missed it’s quarterly return target for the second quarter in a row. I’ll tell you about the fund and what a pitiful job they are doing in just a few minutes. Also on the show today, some things you need to know about flood insurance and living in a flood zone. All that and more coming up...

- Evangelina, Baltimore, MD, “I understand the MAO formula. But I can’t find any deals that fit that number. Several of my friends are buying above the price that formula recommends and they seem to be doing ok. Can you explain some of the reasoning behind it?”
- Roderick, Tampa, FL, “I want to buy rental properties. It seems like if the property has $200/month or more in positive cash flow I should be fine. But one of my friends said I should check with you. No offense but I had never heard of you until now. Am I missing something here? $2400 a year is good money and with 10 of those I can quit my job.”
- Stephen, Boulder, CO, “Can you explain the difference between cap rate and cash on cash return? What should I be looking for when buying a single family rental?”
- Sherry, Sebring, FL, “What are the key steps when buying a flip project in another town?”
- Lynetta, Jackson, WY, “We want to bounce back and forth between Jackson and Austin, TX, you know, avoiding the weather extremes but getting in some skiing when we want, etc. We are both in our mid 50’s and our question is should we buy something in both places or just do longer-term rentals? We could pay cash for both places, but can’t help but wonder if our cash is better off elsewhere.”
- Rhonda, Milwaukee, “Estimating a rehab is overwhelming to me. I just don’t know where to start. Please help.”
