The central theme is to determine what the present value of all future project cash flows are worth today.If you are just buying and flipping properties in 6 months or less, from a time value of money perspective, there are probably more simple forms of evaluating shorter term projects and probably why there often isn't much mention of it here.

The suspension was in rough shape.

I have a truck with suspension damage.

They have been renovated (if not new), and they are loaded with features and amenities that attract travelers - features like themed kids bedrooms, video games, flat screen televisions and a garage that has been converted into an air conditioned game room or movie theater.A number of potential investors call me stating they have the 20% down for the mortgage, but they don't have the extra cash to pay for any renovations, which can't be financed.

But today, that is completely impossible.Contrasting this with my own scenario, I am not only cash flowing $5k more than what I was in 2004, but my Appreciation is approximately $3 Million more.The theme here is that if you really want to live in a highly appreciating City, which now seems to be EVERY desireable City everywhere around the US and the world, from NYC to Austin, even cheap places in PA and the boondocks of Florida seems to be completely priced out for many of the CASH FLOW Investors here, you should FIRST buy in the place you want to live in forever.The problem with buying out of the area you wish to eventually settle roots into is that you may get priced out completely, even if you are building a cash flowing portfolio.Something to think about.Buy your first property, rental or otherwise, in the area where you are most likely to build your Roots.There is a huge difference between those of my family, 90% of them, that did not invest or buy their home in the area where they live, and myself.My Partners and I own 10 small multi-family properties in Brooklyn, NYC.

It was built and tweaked by looking back at applications after knowing how the tenants turned out and looking for themes that seem to lead to great or unsuccessful tenants.
