I would not choose RE if I were only projecting 10% return or anywhere close to only 10% return (easy to just place the money in S&P 500 for similar return).BTW, most of our RE are infinite return because after refi we had no investment in the RE. 

When that happens you're playing the house's money as they say and your returns are infinite. 

That's infinitely more difficult if you are an extreme introvert.I would suggest getting involved in something outside of real estate that really forces you out of your comfort zone.

I kept thinking that I should just be able to run math on every deal, sort in a spreadsheet, and choose the one at the top.The problem is the infinite variables, many of which are personal.For example, to a new investor, the 20% discount rule is a great one.

Infinite Cash on Cash ROI.Now, let’s say some things go wrong in the process.

---------------------------------------------------Do you really, really, think that there would be a flat fee for such things, given the infinite variety of conditions a plumber or electrician could encounter?

Life's too short and money is not infinite for you to make BIG mistakes. 

I saw it being between 6% and 11% for larger apartments and about 8% for packaged SFRs (5+).Even if I change CAP to 8% my asking price would only go to $88K.The general property condition is a big unknown at this point - I have not received the answer to that question yet.Cash on cash is less important for me because I can easily change it one way or another: pay 100% cash and my cash on cash is the same as CAP; finance 100% and cash on cash is thecnically infinite :-)

What if you could finance a property for zero down, your COC is infinite. 

My return is infinite as I do not have any money stuck in these.I like the fact that there are numerous ways to make money in real estate.
