One single property that I can get for below market value, that I can force an appreciation with, and that will generate cash flow for me.Some people might think that I'm looking at this way too simplistically, and maybe I am.

I apologize if I am being to simplistic.

Hi @Diskin Young - This is very simplistic.

Of course, my calculation is simplistic as it doesn't take into account rent growth, depreciation tax benefits, etc.I'll send you a message with some recent examples so you can see the calculations yourself.

@Russell BrazilThose people probably just watched a video, or read some really simplistic example without realizing the numbers in that analysis are meant to be ease of explanation, or even rule of thumb.

This is an overly simplistic back-of-the-napkin guess and might not be anywhere near reality.  

It seems too simplistic, and has me worried, even though this is with a friend who is flipping.

Per month that's 525.Now calculate the same with 3.75% because that's how much the bank increased the rate due to a .25% rate hike by the Fed (this is very simplistic and will not translate 1:1): total annual interest is now 7'200, that's 600/m.

@Ami Sapir : I forgot to mention that my definition of being rich is very narrow and simplistic : A rich person is one who can afford the lifestyle he enjoys without having to work for it.

If you invest 100k and net 115k after expenses,  you made a 15% return on your money. ...Although cash on cash is a measure of the return on an investment, the example shown in the excerpt here is too simplistic.
