Most of the deals I am doing in this format are the typical 77% to 80% deals, however, in each of them, the total profit is always over $100k making for a nice profit no matter how you slice the percentages.On top of that, this deal was funded by my private investors via debt financing and they made a 10% return on the $850k invested.Before Photos:After Photos:

If you pay $100,000 for a property and get $1,000 rent, hitting the 1% rule, it doesn't matter what the turnkey provider says or how he slices and dices the cash flow spreadsheet - you're going to be very thin on net cash flow, recently rehabbed or not.  

Not matter how you slice it you need to show a history and stability of income.

No matter how you slice it, factoring in leverage, the most you can leverage at best is 5:1 on your money right?

@Steve Babiak , I give gifts back to BP almost each and every day by staying active on the forums ;) But I'd be happy to give out a little slice of some bitcoin as a gift to anyone on this post who'd like some, to continue on the holiday spirit...Go on blockchain.info and click on wallet to sign up for a bitcoin wallet easily..

Is the GP taking a disproportionate slice of the depreciation, thereby muting your taxable losses?  

Its those big, infrequent ones that kill your return if you're unprepared.Don't try slicing the expense pie too thinly.

There is no question that VRBO and Airbnb are the gold standard for driving business.There is also no question they are hogging a bigger slice of the pie, year by year.  

In that way the breakeven cap rate can be  about a 9 to 9.5 cap rate for new development as a passive investor owning a smaller slice of a bigger project and the developer sells for a 6 to 7 cap for profit spread.Some investors are still in the YIELD and EQUITY phase.

Trying to slice every deal thin in your favor won't win you any deals.2nd, unless you are offering mostly or all cash, there is little flexibility in the price.
