@Kezia Edmonson Yes, you can use a 1031 exchange to defer taxes on the sale of your single-family investment property when purchasing a multifamily property, but only the portion used as investment (the three rented units) qualifies.

., 2bd/2ba single-family homes) consistently perform well.Building on this, you can also analyze current rental rates relative to nearby "for sale" comps to estimate ROI.

Gross profit is interesting because it appears to just be the difference in his acquisition and sales price and fails to take into account the other obvious cost of running that business which includes, again according to him, the cost of over 26,000 letter print, mail, post, and the cost of the lists needed to create a mailer of that size. 

I saw a few in Plymouth but I don't know if the home values align with the sales prices.

Would the federal tax liability be $140k at year 5 for the sale, with long term capital gains (ignoring any Net Investment Income Tax)?

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc.
