Honestly xcel has everything you need if you use it properly.The hardest part will be setting up all the references and equations for your specifications.If that might seem a little too much of a challenge for you I would put an ad into your local college newspaper offering $1000 for an xcel spreadsheet that you can build upon and let a college intern/professor/student build you one for weekend beer money.

That said, bank transfers are generally processed within a few hours, even internationally.

And I don't like Southwest Florida International at all.

Your lender may have internal risk factors that may push up rates or require larger down payments when you hit a certain number of properties.

Hello Everyone,I've learned a lot from Frank Gallinelli's "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow," however, the Internal Rate of Return concept is still a little confusing to me.In this book there is a case study in chapter 6 that considers an "Apartment Building Investment" (pgs. 108-120).

However, I have recently spoken to our internal underwriters about this and know it is not that simple or cut and dry.

I saw a slight increase in my policy and just looking it over seeing appliance coverage and internal property coverage.. i assumed it was correct... turned out it wasnt and initially they declined my claim, but i hired a lawyer and kept track of the info like the person i talked to, date, time and such and they managed to go back and find the recording of the conversation and then accepted my claim, but they truly fought me tooth and nail on the amount.

Unless you're planning on significant appreciation or rent increases this is likely a loser, although ultimately I would decide based on the potential internal rate of return for the duration of the investment, to see whether you can invest that money for a better return elsewhere.    

It should work fine, particularly if you have access to folks who need less space and lower rents...think students, medical interns, etc.
