What's your criteria for assessing whether this project should go forward (ie. 2x equity multiplier, 20% IRR, C-C return of 20%??) 

But multiply that by 20 and that starts to move the needle.

@Nate ReedIt is true that cash flow provides a cushion for REI, help us to leverage and multiply quickly.

@Spencer Cornelia if I am calculating in order to come up with a price to offer, I multiply the gross rent x .60.

IE, say General Landscaping was $300 a day for a 4 man team and I believe it would take 3 days to clean out, the chart would set up to multiply $300 by 3 to get $900.

Never has there been any penalty whatsoever from the IRS.The reason the IRS prohibits the provision of goods or services by a disqualified party to an IRA is as a means to insure that someone is not adding value to the account and therefore bypassing the IRS contribution limits and/or placing a hidden multiplier on the tax-sheltering of the account. 

Even a few bugs can rapidly multiply to create a major infestation.

The average price-to-sales for the group = 8.5 and median price-to-sales=8.8 (think gross rent multiplier).

The prior investors- who are unfortunately large in number- are also learning of MI's perfidy, creating a rush for the exits(and an avalanche of redemption requests which will go unanswered.) 

I fail to see the use of the gross income multiplier metric.
