@Joe Villeneuve How do you go about getting that capital back in 2-3 years? Whenever I analyze a property it usually takes at the minimum 8 years to my initial investment back.

@Joe Villeneuve I know this answer would be different for every person but what would you say is a reasonable amount of time to recover your cash back?

@Mike D'Arrigo At the moment I’m looking at investing into B and C class neighborhoods for the cash flow. Do you mostly invest for appreciation?

@Nick Robinson That makes sense that vacancy would change from market to market. I’ll definitely get in contact with some property managers to make sure my numbers are as accurate as they can be!

@Kat He How do you go about getting market reports? I assume there’s a website I could access them.

Also I’m going to be stationed at Joint Base Lewis McCord soon. I’d love to connect with you if you’re interested.

@Bill F. What are you using for comparison to see what’s your future cash’s present value is?

@John Rankin I see that you invest in Indianapolis. What part of town do you primarily buy in if you don’t mind me asking? I can’t find many places that have the 1% rule. Are BRRRing the properties?

@Bill F. Which one do you weigh more heavily? Present day cash flow or future cash flow.

Also I’m not understanding what you meant by you’d discount the monthly cash flow and sale proceeds back to present day. Could you explain that a bit more?

@Kat He You’re correct. I did factor in vacancy but I made a mistake when typing out my post. I set vacancy at 10%. What percent do you allocate towards vacancy?
