Total return is my measure to determine if a purchase is a good investment.  

One thing to keep in mind is your thickness (millimeters) and wear thickness (mils)-Millimeters are used to measure the thickness of vinyl flooring planks, while mils are used to measure the thickness of the wear layer on the surface of the plank.

The current measures are designed to ensure long-term stability and prevent the kind of market collapse seen in the past.

Hi everyone,I'm wondering if Rentometer is a reliable measure of market rents?

It is not the CPA's fault to help you with the IRS, it is not the doctors fault to talk to you about preventative health measures.

CPI measures general inflation for consumers for major individual expenses such as food, gas, shelter, and other basics.

Sometimes those properties exceed 100% expenses to rent they bring in.Generally though, when I look at my overall portfolio at the end of the year, the expenses usually are right about 50%.So, it's an important number to keep in mind but consider the specifics of the property you are looking at more than any 'rule of thumb' measurement.

Windows are completely blacked out, big time security measures are in place - including bad butt dogs and fencing - and that any neighbor is too great a risk.
