That is a mathematical fact proven over multiple decades of research. 

It is a mathematical calculation that can be adjusted by changing the inputs.I would look at this point for a strong market fundamentally. 

The mathematical probability as I stated just leans toward their being more likely to be a life long deadbeat.

That's not going to happen with me on a foreclosure flip in a soft market.My question is this: When I pin down mathematically what she owes (and get a title search done to make sure there's nothing I missed), how low can I go without getting blown off and ruining my relationship with the agent?

Putting a bunch down" is also part of the expenses that needs to be averaged imho as it does mathematically skew the performance relative to the average."

Ok you mathematical guru's - can you calculate my return on investment?

Be careful when using IRR in that there are some mathematical peculiarities which can yield multiple answers.

So from a mathematical standpoint, is the "good tenant" discount worth 10%?

Basically, all loan calculators work on the  similar mathematical formula: [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1where P stands for the loan amount or principal,R is the interest rate per month [if the interest rate per annum is 11%, then the rate of interest will be 11/(12 x 100)],and N is the number of monthly installmentsAs you have all three figures i.e your total loan amount, rate of interest and the period, then you can easily calculate its EMI on the basis of above formula.
