You know, I know.....Everybody knows that something like this is not going to be replicated on any sort of scale.I assume this is some one off you bought at the very bottom of the market and you will admit that results are not typical. 

I think if it were done correctly, it would gain national attention, and the model could be easily replicated.

The payment is calculated such that after 30 yrs your balance is zero.In your first payment, you owe 7% x $3.5M, but you only borrowed that amount for one month, so it's 1/12th of a year....so $20,417 becomes your interest payment.....that leaves $2,869 to pay down the principal.I use "=PMT()" function in Excel spreadsheets....you don't need an accountant to replicate a mortgage calculation. 

Other people try to replicate it but cannot come close. 

No one has given me a link that allows me to replicate what I can do with Houston's Harris County Appraisal District link:http://hcad.org/property-search/real-property/real-property-search-by-address/Are you guys telling me there is nothing like this in California/the Bay Area???

Are you looking to replicate and arrangement like this?

Buy them one at a time and keep replicating the model until it stops working.

I am interested if their strategy can be replicated and how they finance.

It's great to see that you've had a good experience renting out your former home and plan on replicating that in the near future.

If you replicated your analysis of the best markets today, would Omaha still win out?
