I don't know what the others do.I would use them all as a benchmark and add in other date like the enemy method stuff.

The turning point for me to make the jump out of my career was hitting a certain bench mark of cash flow.

I wasn't able to pull the existing money out since I'd have to quit to do so, but it also was a nice benchmark since it was about 10 years worth of contributions.

. +/- 2% of breakeven relative to some benchmark.

So I wouldn’t use recent gains as a benchmark for where to buy investment properties.

Many investors seem to use $1mil (in property value when purchased) as a benchmark for how much a LLC holds.While you have already decided to use a LLC, remember that the legal entity doesn't provide any tax benefit unless you are investing with a non-spousal partner. 

So he saw this house from start to finish and had a benchmark of how much work had been done.

The great thing about that is it will keep you updated on what’s out there and help give you a benchmark to compare any off market deals you may find.

However, generally, a good interest rate for a HELOC is one that is lower than the prime rate, which is the benchmark interest rate used by banks to determine interest rates on loans.

The "1% Rule" is a great benchmark to determine if something is likely to cash flow or not - If the monthly rent is 1% or greater of the purchase price, cash flow is more likely than not.
