He basically wanted me to find an area on a graph that optimizes my investment...who knows.As for the question is he an investor, yes he's but I think his example was to purposely illustrate a poor investment as to open our eyes a little bit.

doing it by yourself is always much less optimized than being part of an Arm Chair partnership, whereas all elements of real estate are professionally managed for you as oppose to you doing it yourself. but what if you get the prefessional services and you making more?

I would think having buyers lines up prior to getting the prop. under contract would be the optimal approach.

Then optimize around that strategy.Expect that you will never get every call or handle every call perfectly.

All an investor needs is one or two tactics to make it out of the rat race.Now, having said that, I can understand someone wanting to take classes or see a guru to get specific and advanced knowledge to assist in fully optimizing a RE business.

Yes, it assumes an investor who wants to keep churning for optimized return -- nothing wrong with sitting back, relatively speaking, and getting a somewhat smaller return.I was most interested in the IRR sale computations because the loans I've found for commercial properties were very tight (as in didn't allow it at all) on getting a second to get cash out.

Post help wanted ads in places for specific parts of the work and in this economy youll find someone so desperate they will work more for the feeling of optimism of new work than the cash.

I would think purchasing the first house to avoid mortgage payments altogether would be optimal, but I would really like to keep that other money put away and "start small" like anyone else just starting out.

It has dozens of other great features which I won't get into here, but you'll see what I mean if you decide to pull the trigger.The main thing is to have a central database for all of your buyers/sellers/contractors/attorneys/realtors and so forth, so you can streamline your work flow.For my main website, I use the Wordpress blog platform with Optimize Press.
