With no offense intended to anyone's profession, I would much rather stay in my current job at my current pay than go to McDonald's and flip burgers for $1mil/year.

I found a decent site at Big Cheese Marketing.

if you're about to invest in your first property and don't know the "formula to find out the ROI" - stop.you're no where near ready to buy anything except a cheeseburger at McDonald's.i'm not saying that to make fun either...even though it is funny :D seriously though - welcome to the forum!!

Basically, you buy a property and the tenant (something like a Burger King, Dollar General, etc.) pays everything (including taxes, insurance, all building/maintenance costs/etc) and you just collect rent on a long-term lease.

Primerica tool arranges to meet him at Burger King for an "interview."

If 30 of the 35 have a part time job at Burger King and need two months to save up the security deposit, you will be wasting your time.

Then when you get to the real world - the college grads with all their degrees end up flipping burgers to pay the rent.

Ah, the old cramming tricks......btw, that was a $9.00 burger!

It's all subjective on a case by case basis.For instance one owner I know owns a multifamily complex of ranchers single story (over 100 units) on about 12 acres.Over the years retail commercial has built up all around it.The owner hasn't raised rents in 3 years.90% of the community is 55 and older even though it is not designated for that.The owner keeps it filled and does minor things to maintain it.Eventually it will probably be torn down and sold off for redevelopment.Knowing that it doesn't make sense to really over improve it and increase the rents.When buying a multifamily building you have to look at many factors and where it is located to determine what your plan will be.I like upping the rents slightly so that you get the increase but are still below market.As other shave said for someone to move and pay deposits and moving fees etc. they won't do it for a small amount.It's like a restaurant upping a burger 25 cents.You won't be happy about it but will deal with it.Up the burger at once by 1.00 and many might look for another place to eat.

Others who have a 4 or 6 year degree end up flipping burgers.
