    Hi all, I am very new to property investing and extremely excited by it.

    As I am learning I am asking some certain questions which I think some of you guys should be able to help with, if you don't mind.

    I am currently short on cash for a deposit on my first IP so am looking at renovating with a long settlement on 2-3 bedroom houses in middle market areas. Does anyone have any advice on how to "crunch the numbers?" 

    Also has anyone discovered any in-depth educational materials for completely understanding the renovation-to-flip process?

    Kind regards,

    Matthew Horne.

    Provide the numbers…and we shall be able to crunch it :)

    – How much are you short by…

    Also with a renovation-to-flip strategy, you need to have money ready to make this process work….it's all about flipping in the quickest amount of time and if money/cash is tight this can cause a lot of delays. 

    Have you research into any another strategy, that may be more suitable considering your current situation and cash flow/deposit issue?

    Regards

    Hi Michael,

    I am looking at using my dad as a guarantor and money partner for my first investment to generate some lump sum gains which I can then pay him out and start on my own from there. I was thinking that the reno-to-flip process would be the best option for that goal? What do you think?

    And sorry, I guess the question is what numbers do you need to crunch rather than how to crunch them?
