Summary At The End of Month 1

Let's summarize what your position looks like at the end of Month 1 (our last  Significant Event). We will look at number of Properties owned, net worth, cash flow and several other important, key metrics.

Properties Owned

Since this is the first month, here is a very simple chart showing the number of Properties we own.

Yes, I did just show you a chart showing that you own a single Property at this point.

Net Worth

At the end of Month 1, your overall net worth for the entire Scenario up to this point in time can be summarized by the following chart.

Account Balances

If we sum up the Account balances for all the Accounts each month we can see the total balance for each month up through this month, Month 1. Our total Account balance this month is $3,802.11 This is after all the income and expenses for the month.

The following chart shows how the total Account balance of $3,802.11 for all your Accounts is distributed over your 2 Accounts in Month 1.

Cash Flow

Your total cash flow for all Properties combined (excluding any Properties you are currently living in and not collecting rent on) is $1,385.63 per month in Month 1. This does include an estimate of cash flow from the tax benefit of depreciation. You can see a summary chart of this below.

Paychecks

The following chart shows how much gross you're bringing home from paychecks based on any Rules that are for paychecks in the Scenario.

Your total gross paycheck in Month 1 is $2,500.

Once we take into account the taxes you're paying on your gross paychecks, you're left over with your net from paychecks. That is shown in the chart below. For this month, it is $2,500.

Not counting the cost of the Property you are living in and not collecting rent on, you have $2,500 in personal expenses.

Minimum Gross Income Required

The Real Estate Financial Planner™ software does calculations to determine what it believes you would need to be earning in gross income from all sources between you and your spouse (if you're buying together on the loan) to be able to qualify for the loans on Properties.

The software assumes you have no other debt besides your mortgages. If you have car debt, student loan debt, credit card debt or any other debts at all, it will increase this number. While it is not 100% accurate, a rule of thumb to estimate how much more you'll need to earn if you have additional debts is to double the monthly payment. For example, if your car payment is $300 per month, you'd need to add about $600 more per month in income to still be able to qualify carrying that additional debt.

Of course, this calculation is really an estimate and you should discuss the actual requirement with your lender for your specific situation.

The following chart shows you the estimated minimum gross monthly income required to be able to qualify for the current loans you have in the Scenario. For Month 1, you will need to be earning, at a minimum, $0 per month gross (before taxes) between you and your spouse.

Your income from your rental Properties can count toward this as well.

Purchased Subject-To Property 2 Property
Bought in Month 7

We have a Rule that has you buying the Subject-To Property 2 Property even if your Account balance in the All-In-One Checking Account Account has zero dollars. The following is a chart showing the balance of All-In-One Checking Account Account from the start of the Scenario to Month 7 after we've adjusted for all the income and expenses for the entire month.

To purchase the Subject-To Property 2 Property, we're assuming you're getting a 0.5% down payment loan. With a $241,148.69 purchase price that means you need to have $1,205.74 for down payment.

The total cost to close must also include the rent ready costs ($0) and closing costs ($482.30) minus any seller concessions ($0).
