After ten years compounding at 5% that amount would be worth $1,348,602, which would really be $1,256,344 after accounting for LTCG @ 15% (1,348,602-733,500 * .15).Final amount for condo conversion: $1,256,344Pros: After money is reinvested, passive incomeCons: Taxed twice, once on sale, once when investments are sold, no real control over money once investedScenario 2: 10 year holdI pasted my numbers at the bottom of this post so it's easier to see, but my thought process was as follows:1) Calculate value based on reasonable appreciation trends, plus cash flow.

The seller’s of a $4 million 10 acre compound needed $2 million by Friday to pay off their mortgage or they’d lose the property to foreclosure.

I can compound this in the stock market quickly with index funds.

And most importantly you'll be able to execute without losing the compounding effect of keeping your profit safe from tax. 

We may be buying and completely gutted house soon and hope the things I want inspected (basement walls bowing, sewer pipes, and basement floor) don’t turn out to be too expensive to fix everything should turn out pretty good for that property as long as comps support it.

Quote from @Dan Bowe: Seeing the market in reading the big brokerages reports on the main metros I invest in, everyone estimate rent growth at 0% for at least a year or two.

It's all about the compound effect.

They won't understand the issues, they won't know other people who have dealt with the same issues, and they won't trust that the issues are resolved.As an example, when I was rehabbing in Milwaukee, we rarely came across a house that didn't have bowing basement walls that needed reinforcement or excavation. 

.$100k to me is more to get the ball rolling and compound on the future investments made.MFR is an opportunity I'm working towards attaining once I get the funds for it.

Doing this likely compounded your gains in the other properties since you were able to buy with dollars that weren't getting taxed as you received them.
