They are less onerous for residential construction, but still complex, and a complete understanding of much of it requires referring to several sections, often in multiple physical codebooks, and not infrequently requiring mathematical calculations. 

As @Chris May stated, we had a spirited debate over this in another thread and several people mathematically modeled it.

So it is a simple mathematical expression of how much profit I am going to get from deploying my money.However it is important to note that the cap rate is just one single tool someone should use to analyze a property.

But, that mathematical truth has absolutely nothing to do with my personal beliefs.

I believe that it is a mathematical impossibility for any other single person to have been the result of so many distinct and finite prophecies.

Credit card.Even if you found a lender to do it, flat closing costs would be a ridiculous % of loan amount.A flat $1500 origination fee is mathematically identical to 30 points upfront on a $5k loan.

This may get them votes, but unless mathematics work differently there, it will have an adverse effect on the  economy

I will leave it to others to dig further into the mathematics of it all, but those are some initial things to consider.

So that's when I started to wonder, because even if you are paying all cash, its still not a good return from a mathematical standpoint.

Another no I got when I was quite young was around mathematics.
