There are so many factors that come into play especially for first time buyers and I want to try to avoid getting cold feet.

Hi my name is Shane O'Neill I am a current professional soccer player playing in major league soccer for Toronto FC.

I am currently playing D1 football in collage at Duquesne University, and since im just starting out, I don't have the capital to buy Zillow leads.

I do need the deal to be at least cashflow even, but i don't mind playing the long game on the property.

Below are all of the factors that play into these projects and why I have a hard time calculating a true and fair return % on them.- These projects are separate than unit interior renovations (most of these properties had units renovated 7+ years ago and that was easy to measure).- I want a market adjusted return/yield.

Then you would need to look at the pure cash flow play of what type of rents can you get and is your cash flow return adequate to make the deal worthwhile, even if the residual value isn't there in the short term.

If you solely have rental properties as your investments, what plays might be the best for retirement? 

I would find some properties in the areas you are interested in and play around with that to see what results you get.

The process is too messy and too many human factors play a major role.

I think your numbers are on, its a profitable play in that leasing risk in good areas is essentially 0.
