I never hear anyone talking in terms of having retained there purchasing power. 

Educate the land owner on the potential profit run the numbers and go over the basic proxy and blue prints.Make sure you have a seasoned and qualified Builder/GC because they can be a deal killer with wasted time and inflated material and extended completion dates.

The effect of this process is that the portfolio is constantly improving by retaining the best properties and jetison the under performers.I've bought and sold over 1,000 properties, and people always ask me "How many doors?" 

This gives our developments the ability to scale as we are very knowledgeable about our build process, materials and costs.

Yes, you personally aren't living there, but with high crime comes unqualified tenants and high maintenance costs (stolen materials, broken windows, etc.).

@Kyle Atans  for me for the younger investors or starter investors is  at least use that 100 or 200 a month positive to paydown debt at an accelerated rate it will save them a ton in the long run and if they can get them paid off in 10 to 15 years that's a good thing.. its not like saving 1200 a year is going to materially affect their ability to buy unit number two and if its that tight not sure owning rentals is that great of investment anyway.

Now just realize it will STILL need to be demoed , they dont burn it to the ground , and demo guys hate dealing with burnt materials . 

Real material cash flow is basically 50% of your net income.Cash flow is a metric that requires a debt ratio.

Replacing one bad fixture between material and labor can end up being 3X the cost of buying the better quality fixture in the first place.  

I didn't use it, but I looked at the marketing materials.
