People still have to live somewhere and need to pay based on a landlords costs and margins.

I thought the deal was good at $115K so you just made some extra margin.

The profit margins are significantly better with new construction.

Most deals of damaged homes was around 50% of ARV, squeezing margins of the flippers.

If its larger unit size, you're not going to have comparable costs.Office may have higher margins when full, but a lot more risk.

My Thoughts -If Ownership is a Luxury Item then it should be very profitable to be a Landlord of Affordable HousingIt should be profitable with solid margins to Buy Slumlord Properties and Convert to Pride of Ownership RentalsIs there a Dark Downside of being a landlord in CA if > 50% of residents are tenants???

Me personally, NO DEAL because unless they're truly ready to sell and ultimately take advantage of your help (investors are problem solvers that specialize in creating win-wins) then you could waste time at a profit margin that only seems like a win for seller and not another investor.I like to keep the ball rolling.

Profits from real estate investments, at the scale you would be starting at, are taxed at the highest marginal tax rate. 

Sure if there is enough margin to cover both mortgages.

The tool would be able to do myriad analysis to evaluate the deterministic analysis such as margin of safety, probability of a return, maximum buy price given a certain probability of a return, and calculate the opportunity cost comparing this investment to an equal investment in an index fund.Does anyone think a tool like this would be useful and beneficial or do you think it's more of a waste of time?
