You can keep reinvesting over and over and multiply your money like crazy.The example I used was for simplicity.

I am not paying 8-10% management fees of any of my $1,200 - $1,500 rents... multiply that by just the 12 sfr's we own and manage and it does change the formula, doesn't it?

Anyhow, I tinkered around with Excel and put one together.It requires you to put your own Insurance, Principal and Interest in but will multiply it by the months you want to hold the place.I also found a Loan amortization tool that I pasted in there so you can get a quick idea of your P&I for the Buy and Hold sheet.Let me know what you guys think.

As long as you purchased at least as much as your net sale (approx 1,062,000) and as long as you used all of the cash to do that ($400K) you will defer all tax.The DST leverage only establishes how much you actual purchase - Take the cash you invested and multiply at the leverage position as Account Closed suggests. 

I always find it quite suspicious that if someone has a formula that can identify homes that will double in value, get zero-cash down financing, and multiply your money at an unlimited rate that they would ever freely share that information for any amount of money, lol.

Although there is not rule of thumbs here is one that will get you in the right magnitude. 5 dollar /SF for light10 for medium15 for heavyObviously use an economic and geographic multiplier on where you are in the economic cycle/season and perhaps 2x it if you are in Seattle.

Originally posted by NA Beard:, take the GSI / Price better known as the Cap Rate and higher is more interesting.That calculation is for GRM, not cap rate. ( gross rent multiplier)

Equity Harvesting (slow but nice in the right circumstances)Cashflow (while renting) - 2x costs.Financial leverage - More Cashflow and multiplying Equity dispersion across assets that produce a higher return then the alternative. 

The most common way to account for the non-habitability (which lack of running water would certainly qualify) of a rental unit is to take the monthly rent amount and divide it by the number of days in the month and then multiply that by the number of days that the property wasn't habitable. 

Just make sure when you're doing your estimate on a property, that you multiply the mill rate by the property's assessed value (i.e. not the asking price on zillow or some site like that).
