Lets say somehow you end up with an actual cash flow of $200/month per unit (look at all cash flow projections with a critical eye as in general they are fantasy - many do not even include Cap ex estimates). 

I switched to football when the astros died

Originally posted by Jeremy Namen:haha that is ridiculous... but the proof is in the pudding.florida owns OSU. so does the SEC. but this is no football forum. many examples why the big 10 can't hang with the big dogs from the south.

Years ago, we lost Reno Mahe from football team for TWO years.

I just finished my last season as a college football player and am ready to get into real estate.

In the OP's fantasy figures, property 1 purchased for 200k generated 700k and is worth 800k at the end, property 2 purchased for 200k generated 200k and is worth 1.7 million at the end.

Or, is $850 a fantasy?

Here in Tampa, this would relate to Conventions, The Yankees, The Buccaneers football games.

Why this idea to become a real estate investor when I was still in high school with a 20 hour a week part-time job, and a steady girlfriend that wanted me interested in her and not some fantasy.

Must be nice to live an a fantasy world . . .
