I would say most SFH in my area (I'd guess we run cheaper than in your area) are 400-500 depending on difficulty and size, so if I try to translate that into 8 units, it seems reasonable, if not cheap?

I was using the voice translator instead of just typing my response and the autocorrect apparently revised some words...

Does it logically translate to larger units, or does your idea of a deal need to be modified?

@Steve Might, they may not "accept" EMD until acceptance but that does not translate into you not having to put EMD with your offer for it to be taken seriously.The way I do it is I write out a check for the amount of the EMD, the EMD is indicated in the offer and the picture of the EMD check made out to *WHOEVER*, as well as POF are included in the offer package.The *WHOEVER* is typically my attorney who is also my escrow agent. 

Now translate that across all the everything's in life.

This is a more detailed example so we can look at the calculations and translate it into the CD Comparison so we can make comparisons to all Types of Investments:Now, there are certain assumptions that are being made.

I have a couple of houses that I would like to translate into something else, but making that timeline is likely going to end up getting me into a mediocre deal since everything is so hot & high right now.

In my opinion, this should translate well to managing a multi family property of my own.  

Consider the nature of the jobs and the kind of money that people will make before translating that into real estate price inflation. 

I'm an attorney and foreign-language translator and am beginning my R/E investment education.
