But, $8500 (8.5%) of that got scalped off the top, and you only own a 9.15% share of the project.If the MP was able to find and put together such a solid deal that, even with this fee, it still offers you an attractive risk/reward profile (including the lack of the MP's own external capital in the game), then I don't see all this mattering much.

We intentionally found a home that has a separate mother-in-laws suite in the basement that's connected by an external entrance that leads from the backyard straight into the suite.

Some counties also have external GIS data that you can use through other mapping software if you have access or through arcgis.com which allows free access for basic web mapping applications to the public.  

Thanks guys.Obviously there are numerous externalities that could affect it.  

Chris Mason, in my opinion, the 50% rule is irrelevant in most high-rent markets such as you'd find in many parts of California (and elsewhere in the country), and its irrelevance in California is amplified by Proposition 13.There's no way that a 3/2 SFR renting for $3,000 in Orange County or the Bay Area or a suburb of LA is going to have three times the expenses over the long-haul as a similar house renting for $1,000 in Indy or Cleveland with its lower-quality tenants and harsher weather conditions, which is what someone blindly applying the 50% rule to each property would come up with.

In addition, growing to that scale required leverage of external resources and so my role included establishing and managing channel relationships with providers of goods and services.I've worked diligently to make billionaires wealthier and now wish to bring home to my family, friends and colleagues the knowledge, experience and tools used by real estate moguls to earn hundreds of millions in net profit.

As for the hoa fee (which covers external and common area maintenance) it is an expense not normally figured in the 50% rule, so in theory you need to subtract that after the 50%, but on the other hand you will avoid external maintenance which is part of the 50% so ....hmm.

Rebecca, private money, hard money and syndication are the 3 methods to obtaining large funds of external money without a job.

It's all about how well you buy it, regardless of external factors.
