Trust me over 5 to 10 years, these small wins start to add up and compound.

I am dealing with a client that is unfortunately compounding a tough personal issue with some pretty bad decisions pertaining to this property. 

REI or any career in real estate often starts off slow until it starts compounding.

An investor should only focus on asset classes that possess compounding returns realized through compounding interest.

(The interest due each month has just been getting tacked onto his mortgage balance, apparently & likely for the last six years or so, and then compounding per the math you know and love for compounding ROI on investments in exactly the same way... except this is a debt, not a retirement vehicle!)

The IRR will tell you the estimated compounded rate of return of your investment; very useful when comparing real estate to other investments such as stock market gains.

You are taking away the wonders of compounding interest if you take out the loan, blah, blah, blah.For me, even though I took a loan from my 401K, I never stopped making contributions.

So it’s way too big of a pool for generalities and to further compound this... it usually varies from area to area.

Is that 15.6% annual or do you use compounding to figure that out?
