Bruce Kirsch, Founder of REFM, discusses how to improve your financial modeling on investment decisions.

This week's show I'm going to share with you a short segment that I recently recorded with financial modeling expert and founder of REFM, Bruce Kirsch. Bruce will offer a few quick tips on how to effectively analyze and underwrite deals to help us avoid any potential mistakes which could affect the final output that you end up with in your evaluation.   This is such a basic topic, but one that is so vitally important because making just one small input mistake in your financial evaluation can be the difference between a good deal and a bad one. There have been many times where I've run a property through my financial modeling software only to have the results seem much better than I originally anticipated, and in almost all circumstances, it was due to an input error on my behalf.

In this show you’re going to learn: What financial modeling is and why it's such a critical part of being a successful real estate investor How to obtain the proper operations data for a property and make valid assumptions when building a financial model How financial modeling helps you create and tell the story of any given property which is vitally important when raising private capital or pitching the deal to investors Why you need to stay privy to all your local real estate news Learn about REFM's tools and resources and how they can help your real estate business How to download REFM's free modeling templates and other financial modeling tools And much more  Recommended Resources: Download my free success guide,  “7 habits of highly successful multi-family investors” by going to www.KevinBupp.com/guide Schedule your free 30 minute "no obligation" call directly with Kevin by clicking this link https://www.timetrade.com/book/KV2D2 Looking to invest in Mobile Home Parks?
