Do you brainstorm like this?
The Deal: A Mixed-Use Commercial Building is in pre-development. You're interested in two condominium units in the building as it is in an up and coming Metropolitan area with a pre-construction cost of $350,000 each requiring 20% down. Once construction is complete, the value will increase 30% reflecting it's retail cost.
Your Play: Sell one condominium for a capital gain and hold one condominium for long-term rental.
What we know:
$700,000 pre-construction cost
$140,000 down payment cost

…and so on
Although not real, this is just an example to illustrate what I naturally do.
I understand how rough this is as I didn't include depreciation and all that fun stuff, but do any of you brainstorm storm like this when trying to see the big picture?
I'm over analytical at heart, and even though this only takes a few minutes to whip up, I'm still curious what everyone else does and if there are more efficient alternatives.
