You could make assumptions for the various components of free cash flow which are calculated from information on the BS (e..g. inventory as a % of COGS) without building out a properly integrated 3 statement model.But technically speaking you do need a proper balance sheet to calculate critical components such as the net working capital, which can really move the dial on value especially for manufacturing companies which have lumpy sales, hence deferred revenue and inventory build up.

Yes, of course this is a good idea. We help a lot of Founders build these financial models. It's a collaborative process because we have built a ton of models but the Founders know their business best.You want to begin by isolating 4 or 5 Key Performance indicators (KPI) for your business. Let those metrics drive your business. They might be # of users/customers, revenue per user/customer, churn rate, customer acquisition cost, etc.Once you have these metrics, use them to drive your Income Statement. Be realistic about your growth rates and costs so you don't end up with an overly optimistic model.Use the Net Income from the P&L to flow into the the Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet. Don't forget to accurately project how much Cap Ex you will need to invest in. Also, you will have Changes in Working Capital to account for. Most businesses that start growing quickly need a lot of Working Capital. You will make these assumptions on the Balance Sheet and the differences will materialize on the Cash Flow Statement.A lot of Founders don't build a proper Cash Flow Statement because it's hard, but you need the 3 Statement Model to accurately predict your Cash Burn and Runway. It's a great exercise and I find Founders really understand their business after connecting everything in the model. :)

One of the largest social media (website, blog, podcast, etc) outlets for real estate is called BiggerPockets dot com. One of the hosts of the podcast did exactly what you asked. His first real estate goal was to buy enough rentals to replace his salary. Which happened to be $3,000/month so that he could retire. He accomplished this goal and then decided that he wanted more. You should check out that podcast.The answer to your question though is that it depends. Every rental property has different characteristics. For example, I have one that gives me $300/month in cashflow and one that gives me around $50/month. Each rental has to be examined individually. It may be hard to find one that has any cashflow in some areas. There is a general rule of thumb (the 1% Rule) that if you can find one that rents for 1% of the value of the home that is generally going to be a good investment. So if the house is worth $100,000 and you can rent it for $1000/month that would probably be a good rental. This isn’t always true but it’s a good rule of thumb. This rule breaks down and doesn’t work when you start getting into more expensive homes. Once the rent gets high enough you start to wonder why the person is renting and not buying. I am willing to accept much less than the 1% rule but if I find one that makes 1% I will definitely make an offer.

Quick summary gleaned from the press release below:Revenues downPrint advertising down 6% - due to reductions in retail and general advertisingOnline revenues up 12% in comparison with FHY2012Circulation down by 7.1% (Post), 7.6% (Sunday) FHY2013signNow impact on results from early retirement and separation plansFurther restructuring charges seem necessaryFHY2013 operating loss $ 49.3 millionSo based on these data, looks like a total investment of over $ 500 million to $ 1 billion (asked as a subquestion) will be needed easily. I am assuming that $ 250 million was paid just to acquire it. Based on the operating loss now that it is standalone, extrapolating the FHY2013 numbers, some ~ $ 100 million alone will be needed to fund this year's losses. Further restructuring (severance pay, settling/rearranging pension liabilities, restructuring costs) will probably eat up somewhere between ~ $ 100 - 200 million in the short term. And then, for the foreseeable future, it is not a profitable company, so there will be more funding of losses and capital expenditure on making it work mid-term.Not for the find-hearted, that, buying newspapers.++++++++++++++++++++From a press release by the Washington Post on NASDAQ's Homepage for Retail Investors:Newspaper publishing division revenue totaled $138.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, down 1% from revenue of $139.2 million for the second quarter of 2012; division revenue declined 2% to $265.7 million for the first six months of 2013, from $271.7 million for the first six months of 2012. Print advertising revenue at The Washington Post in the second quarter of 2013 was $54.5 million, down 4% from the second quarter of 2012; print advertising revenue was $103.1 million for the first six months of 2013, down 6% from the first six months of 2012. The decline is largely due to reductions in retail and general advertising. Revenue generated by the Company's newspaper online publishing activities, primarily The Washington Post: National, World & D.C. Area News and Headlines and Slate, increased 15% to $29.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 versus the second quarter of 2012; newspaper online revenues increased 12% to $55.6 million for the first six months of 2013 versus the first six months of 2012. Display online advertising revenue increased 25% and 21% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Online classified advertising revenue declined 7% for both the second quarter and first six months of 2013.For the first six months of 2013, Post daily and Sunday circulation declined 7.1% and 7.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, average daily circulation at The Washington Post totaled 447,700 and average Sunday circulation totaled 646,700.In February 2013, the Company announced a Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program (VRIP) which was offered to certain employees of the Post. The total VRIP expense was $20.4 million, which is being funded from the assets of the Company's pension plan. Of this amount, $12.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2013 and $8.4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2013. The Post also implemented a Separation Incentive Program in February 2013 that resulted in an additional $2.3 million in early retirement program expense in the first quarter of 2013, which is also being funded from the assets of the Company pension plan. In addition, voluntary severance and other early retirement expense of $0.7 million and $2.2 million was recorded at the newspaper publishing division in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $3.4 million and $5.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.The newspaper publishing division reported an operating loss of $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to an operating loss of $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, the newspaper publishing division reported an operating loss of $49.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $33.2 million for the first six months of 2012. These operating losses include noncash pension expense of $16.8 million and $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $39.7 million and $16.3 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decline in operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2013 is due to the $5.7 million and $19.6 million increase in early retirement and severance expense, respectively, and revenue reductions discussed above, offset partially by a decline in other operating expenses. Newsprint expense was down 17% and 14% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, primarily due to a decline in newsprint consumption.Read more: The Washington Post Company Reports Second Quarter Earnings

I don’t know that there is a maximum number of times that you can refinance and pull out cash. If the numbers work a bank will do it. Keep in mind a banks job is to make money and they make money by lending it. That being said each time you do a refinance there will be costs associated with the loan process and is not something you want to do every year or even every five years. Each time you do it you also reset the amortization clock at zero and initiate another series of 360 or 180 loan payments. A more effective way of accessing equity would probably be a HELOC. This would give you access to the equity if you need it while leaving your original mortgage in place.

If it is a US PS Money order there should be no problem . The issuing Post office has a record of what was paid for the Money Order. If you bought the Money Order , your receipt will have the amount you paid. If it is a matter of the wrong name or information written on the Money order. Again bring it to the Post office they will issue a new one.

Prepare the operating activities section by converting net income from an accrual basis to a cash basis. Prepare the investing activities section by presenting cash activity for concurrent assets.

Three document cornerstones of any business are the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. Of the three, the statement of cash flows may be the most important because it's the one document that tells you whether you're going to have the money you need to run your business.

A statement of cash flows is a financial statement which summarizes cash transactions of a business during a given accounting period and classifies them under three heads, namely, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Calculating a five-year pro forma is very much like calculating a one-year pro forma, only it covers a more extended period of time. A document predicting five years' worth of sales and cash flow is bound to be considerably less accurate than one predicting only a single year.
