Return on Investment Per Hour?
Hello!
I'm new, and still working on understanding analyzing deals. One thing I wonder is if any investors here have calculated how much time they spend per deal, or how much time they spend on management and maintaining the property?
I've seen various calculations of the return on your investment (cash on cash, total return, etc.), but none of those take your time into account. Has anyone taken their returns and divided them by the hours spent to see what the return is per hour?
Do you know how much you make per hour?

No offense, but why is this even an issue? REI isn't a paid per hour income stream. You're not paid based on the number of hours you work, you're paid based on the number of hours your money works. As an investor, your job is to maximize the use of your time, but any focus on pay/hour is hysterical.
