The next question you should ask yourself is whether your potential rental property will cash flow. This is why you must understand what the debt coverage ratio is. The debt coverage ratio (DCR) measures the landlord’s ability to make monthly mortgage payments from the income generated from renting that property. It tells you whether a rental will generate enough cash to pay for its expenses. Ultimately, it helps you decide if it’s an appropriate candidate as along term or not.

Flip vs. Hold: What A Property Can Tell You – Part I
In our previous real estate investment blogs on flipping homes vs buy-and-hold we talked about why different types of investors are better suited for each strategy. Choosing whether to flip or hold may depend on your financial situation, your goals, and the time you have.
On one side of the spectrum might be a young real estate agent who chooses to supplement her income by flipping several properties a year. She is well-positioned to find a good property by the nature of her business. Her current work doesn’t require her to be in the office from nine to five.

Flipping Homes vs. Buy-And-Hold: Which One Is Right For You?
In the previous article we talked about the differences between flipping homes and keeping them as rentals. The first strategy makes money right away. The other serves as a long-term savings vehicle. Which strategy is right for you depends on many factors. Among them are your financial goals, your current financial situation, and how much time you can afford to spend on the project.
Flipping Homes vs. Buy-And-Hold: Fundamentals
Flipping homes and holding them for a long term are two dramatically different approaches to making money in real estate. Some investors specialize in one particular area. Others like to employ both strategies: selling off some properties and keeping the others. I like to compare flippers and long-term investors to hares and turtles, without passing any sort of judgment on hares. Both animals are evolutionary winners that thrive because of their different survival skills.
House Flip Partnerships: Things NOT to Do
Private lenders believe that borrowers’ financial contribution to the house flip transaction makes loans less risky. By investing their own funds, borrowers demonstrate their ability to save and manage money. They also show their faith in the transaction and its profitability. Having “skin in the game” motivates borrowers to move fast, work hard and make responsible decisions.
At New Funding Resources we fund the lion’s share of what’s needed to buy and rehab a property. However, it’s not uncommon for the new investors to struggle when coming up with their own share of the funds. Some have little in reserves and need to save more before becoming real estate investors. Others have some seed capital, but still might fall short of what’s needed. For that group, bringing in partners who can contribute the rest of the funds might be the right solution. However, before you run out to find such partners, consider these three mistakes. They will not only complicate your foray into rehab business, but also cause a havoc in your relationships with your partners.
