This time at least the seller seems to understand their property is falling apart, so we're optimistic. 

Made my first offer as a real estate investor yesterday and am optimistic about the outcome.

One might be able to make a good case that looking forward 10% is a little optimistic, but the CAGR on the S&P itself or an equities-heavy basket of ETFs usually comes out around 8-9% over a long enough timeframe iirc. 

Your mortgage payment does get locked in.2% inflation... you get the idea.And, finally 3% inflation.This small change alone, has a pretty significant impact on your net worth if you assume that you put your savings into the stock market and could magically earn 8% per year from that (which I feel is optimistic).Here's a chart showing the difference in net worth between the 4 scenarios.And here's a zoom in showing just month 480 at the very end.Much of the difference in the networth is from being able to save more money and invest it in the stock market (since the one property you own is the same for all 4 scenarios).

The numbers seem decent and it fits the 1% rule but make sure you are not being optimistic with your numbers and are being as picky and exact as possible.
