Mastering Fix and Flip Analysis: A Comprehensive Guide for New Investors Understanding Fix and Flip Analysis When it comes to real estate investment, one strategy that has proven profitable for many is the fix and flip. This involves purchasing a property at a lower cost, often because it requires some degree of repair or renovation, fixing it up, and then selling it for a profit.

This rule provides a simple way to calculate a fair purchase price that allows for a profit margin after the property is repaired and sold. Essential Tips for New Investors As a new investor embarking on your first fix and flip venture, here are some key points to consider in yo...

  If you have been in Crypto or blockchain for a while you probably know just how crazy and stressful dealing and planning for the taxes can be. While there is some really cool tools out there to help, this article isn't about preparing for your taxes. This is actually a thought piece and an idea of mine about how we could not only ease the burden of crypto taxation but possibly do far more.  Imagine a world where we not only, did we as a people have no taxes, but we were paid to be citizens of wherever we decided to live. No, in this fantasy land we did not over through our government and now we live in some lawless society. Our Government is still very much around and we have found a way to replace the monetary need of our government and possibly given them more money to be able to help build a better society. Best part is, is this new system is all proportionate to the amount of each "tax payer". So wealthier people will be able to contribute more than those in the mid...

  This week I'm taking a break from my normal blogs in observance of thanksgiving and my birthday. I turn 29 the day after thanksgiving this year, and I'm incredibly thankful for all those that are around me that lift me up, give me encouragement and give me advice. As of writing this my family is still  not quite at financial freedom but we are almost there. Its such a blessing to wake up each day and feel this sense of peace when you know you are on the right track. Sure there are still struggles and worries. For years people have said that we are incredibly lucky or blessed and that we better watch out cause those blessing may stop and then what will you do? They would say these things because the way in which we invested either or time or money would give us such a huge payoff that most people couldn't believe that we were able to achieve those levels of returns.  At the time I didn't think what i was doing was all that special or different, I've always had the ...
