Here's my calculator:  Determine what your weekly rent is going to be on the property and multiply it by 26. 

Thus, because I hired Latchel, the amount of work I had to do for a relatively straightforward task was multiplied--the exact opposite result Latchel promised.

Not only does the appraised value get multiplied by 6% rather than 4%, but the millage rate is significantly higher as well for investment properties.

So to calculate the rent to home value such that I can apply the 1% and 2% investment rules of thumb, I multiply by 12 and then invert.  

To do this, take the purchase price and multiply by 11.5%, that will get you close to assessed value.

I have nearly $100k to invest but would like to use it in a way that multiplies it and doesn't tie it up for long periods of time.

@Joshua D.Josh: Come up with a number you want to live on in terms of cash flow then multiply it by 1.2 times. 

Now in 2013, we want to multiply our reach and really looking to expand our business big time.

Others value parks per space so 33 * 15k (or other multiplier, could be anywhere from $10-20k) = $495,000. 

I ask because IMO dressers are by far the hardest thing to shop for that checks all the boxes (quality slides, deep drawers, looks nice) without breaking the bank, which multiplied by several bedrooms can really add up.
