its apples and Oranges.

One way to start is grab an Apple Watch or something to help you monitor your steps and try to increase your step counts to 10,000 steps gradually.

If only I could get a dollar $ for every time an investor asked me that question.You see guys, it's quite simple.Since our price points are super low (Only $60,000 - $80,000).Most of our investors have more then enough cash to purchase quite a few homes fairly quickly.Thus, we don't have a need to wait for 6-8 weeks to hopefully get the deal across the line via financing.To be honest, we also hate working with lenders and appraisers.Most of them drag their feet and appraisers are super conservative these days due to the Fannie Mae guidelines that were introduced after the fiasco of the Global Financial Crisis.So they are known to intentionally use foreclosed comparable sales to under-appraise properties just to protect their own A$$.This isn't genuine and I've always believed that if you can't fix something or make it better.You need to eliminate it.That's why we have eliminated all financing when buying through our company.I'm sorry.Now, for all of you thinking that you are getting a turnkey property as a "safer" investment for "fair value" just because the turnkey provider offers financing.Think again.After being in real estate for 10+ years and buying/selling over 500 properties world wide.I have seen all of the dirty tricks.An easy one is to influence the appraiser by smudging their eyes with supposed work performed on a house that never really was.Like a "converted attic", "newly installed HVAC", or a "rehabbed garage", etc...Most are too lazy to check these items and will just mark them on the sheet as "done".All of these items would unjustifiably increase a properties value in the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.At the end of the day, there are always going to be bad apples no matter what.Your job is to find the good ones.No matter how you decide to invest (With cash or financing).Find the right team and you will do well.Find the wrong one and it will end in disaster.I wish you all much success and thanks for reading.ps.

Do one task at a time in each app to compare apples to apples.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.

I’ve educated myself on the importance of understanding the variables between annualized ROI vs Comulative ROI and just the annualized ROI can be more helpful when comparing apples to apples as well as apples to oranges.  

That way you have a bid " Apples for Apples "I  would have only labor bid.You control products.Don't fall for contractor that forces you to sing the contract. 

They just built the second largest apple campus down the road in Rancho Bernardo, so lots of people moving to the area. 

Apple is building their East Coast headquarters between Raleigh and Durham. 5,000 jobs with median salary of $240k/year.

I've interviewed like 4 CPAs/tax strategist this year and it's difficult because I know I'm not always comparing apples to apples.

I see Victorville, Hesperia, and Apple Valley as great investment locations with affordable prices and competitive rents.
