Tired of guessing if a deal is actually "good"? Stop making assumptions and start making data-driven decisions.
About this Event

Whether you are a seasoned pro or just getting started, the success of your investment is determined before you ever sign the closing papers. Join us for a special session with Wayne Yahnke of Nor-Cal Properties & Investments as we pull back the curtain on professional real estate underwriting.
📈 What He’ll Cover:
Underwriting is the "stress test" for your investment. If you don't know the numbers, you don't know the risk. Wayne will walk us through:

  1. The Foundation of Success: What underwriting actually is and why it’s the non-negotiable first step of every winning investment.
  2. The "Pre-Offer" Checklist: The essential numbers you must analyze—from purchase price and market rents to hidden expenses and financing structures—before you ever make an offer.
  3. Metrics Made Simple: We’re stripping away the jargon. Learn how to calculate and actually use the core metrics:
  • NOI (Net Operating Income)
  • Cap Rate
  • Cash Flow
  • Cash-on-Cash Return
