You used to easily be able to do this with 2 unit properties, but with prices and rates today it's hard to make this work anymore, unfortunately.

And, analyzing ROI, CoC, and rent vacancy rates, etc are all manual. 

This alone is a significant factor in premiums going up (even when rates remain stable).  

Or put in your interest rate here, and your loan balance there.The art is where I think most people struggle, and I don't think this can really be done without real world knowledge.  

So why would we buy the cash flow at a rate of 6%?

But don't let them know it.It amazes me how many of our members at MassRealEstate dot net have an Asset worth $300-500k Rent it for .5-1% of value and hardly pay attention to it, yet chase a tenth of a percent in CD rates;-)

CA has the highest sales tax rate in the country.

Greg was able to get me a great rate and was able to work through a couple of issues that could have tanked the deal.

I was not comfortable with the market and interest rate conditions, so I elected to hold off.

I just read a new ranking of market ratings and I was not a fan seeing MN ranked 99.9 out of 100 potential score.
