This from the Governator:“I respect the will of the people who are frustrated with the dysfunction in our budget system,†Translation: We'll find another way to screw the people.He continues:“In order to prevent a fiscal disaster, Democrats and Republicans must collaborate and work together to address this shortfall.†Translation: Now we'll have to do what we should have done in the first place - our job.

This would translate to an 18.75 GRM when realistically the GRM should probably be around 15 which would represent a value of $720,000.2.Four Plex B: 2 1,200SF units rented at $1,350 ($1.23/SF) and 2 1,300SF units rented at $1,400 ($1.08/SF).

I can live comfortably on 3k/month which translates into 20 properties cash flowing at $150/month, or 15 properties cash flowing at $200/month.The confusion for me lies here - in my mind, when I purchase a property, it should effectively be able to sustain itself.

Jon, let me translate for you:"100% cash" or "all cash" means it is all YOUR money, and has been sitting in one of your accounts for 3 months.

How are you able to track that they translate into bookings? 

Use pattern and texture - not colour - for variety: translation: use more than one type of tile in the bathroom differing only in size, style or texture.  

If you use the 50%/2% guide this propety should rent for $1500 a month (2% of 75k) and expenses would run 750 per month. leaving 750 a month return . this translates to a cash on cash return of 12% 750 x12 =9000/75000 =12% plug in the actual rent, taxes , insurance property management at 8% and a conservative estimate for maintaining the property and you should get a better picture of what you should offer for this property.

I'm having difficulty translating how my "creativity" ultimately turns into other investors funding my projects.

@Sean Winfield @Mark Pedroza Personality is "personal" assets such as bank accounts; reality is "real" property, translated as house(s), which is what you want.

Most of your commercial spaces are appraised using the income method, so a higher rent or a longer lease makes the property income higher and more stable which translates into a higher value.
