How To Calculate Return On Real Estate Investments
Calculating the return on your real estate investment property is important to understand how well it is performing.

What Is Crowdfunding, And How Is Realized Different?
Real estate crowdfunding is a topic that has garnered a good deal of attention in the past few years. Positioned as the channel that allows anyone to access an investment that previously had significant barriers to entry, crowdfunding is hailed for its ability to unlock the real estate market for the average investor. Through a simple internet transaction, investors can allocate money into real estate assets or investment funds that formerly were only available to well-heeled and well-connected investors.

Tax Basis in Real Estate Part 1 - What is Basis?
One of the first questions, and frankly one of the most important, I typically ask real estate owners who are considering or are in the midst of a 1031 exchange is “what is your adjusted basis in the property being sold?” I dare say that 95 percent of the real estate owners I speak with on a daily basis don’t know the answer to this question.
Cash Flow: More Than Just Money
The term “cash flow” brings up images of, well, a flow of cash. And, the basic meaning isn’t too far off the mark. Overall, cash flow is defined as the amount of profit (mainly consisting of rental income) from an investment property, minus debt service payments (i.e., mortgage payments), capital expenditures for upgrades, property expenses, and vacancy/credit loss.
