I was fortunate enough to earn a full scholarship to play baseball at the University of Nevada, Reno and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing.

Background is physics, chemistry, and computer science, so algorithms are not a problem.

Especially science fiction books.

We just DM, we have it down to a science, and use a lot of big data to make it all happen.

Hi Everyone,I've read countless threads on deal structuring and how it's an artform, not a science.  

Most of this stuff isn’t rocket science. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Of course, we are far from his only clients with real estate investments.

Prior to listening to that podcast I had a certain level of frustration because I don't find any of this to be rocket science but it's not like anything I've done in the past where I can just "go" ASAP.  

It is not rocket science.  

Maybe get rid of the 10% buffer if you already have a lot of science behind the estimate.Maintenance - As others have said, the maintenance number is too low (especially for 100% turnover) but your combined maintenance and cap ex do not appear too low.Appreciation and Principal Reduction - Cash flow is one of three profit drivers in real estate and to calculate the true return, factor in the other two drivers using the IRR.At a 60% expense rate for a $1450 rental, you are likely forecasting expenses a little on the high side (even with the higher taxes) but you may not be too far off (and the tweaks I mentioned may help).

It's not rocket science.
