You're not comparing apples to apples.

While that makes sense from a sales side and it is more consistent with other providers pitch (no longer seeing JWB Apples vs others Apple Pie) I would pull that from the deal decision as the property has to support itself day 1.   

I am not interested in wholesaling, flipping, or SFH deals as they are apples and oranges in the REI world.Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@Joel Owens  what you do and the clients you deal with are very much apples and Oranges to the average BP investor reader.First off you know as a commercial broker proforma's are all blue sky.. were as preformas from turnkey companies the buyers are shocked that they may not be completely accurate   LOLNot sure how many wholesalers that have 2k in the bank end up controlling a 5 to 10 million dollar deal your doing   again apples and Oranges

You're comparing apples to oranges.

One i was looking at earlier was 6,400 FSF 3 story Victorian that was divided into 8 units for $210k. apples to apples a conventional 8 unit multi plex seems to always be well over the 300k price tag and yet the rents dont seem to be that much different....atleast according to the listings

The risk of people with the "Apple" body type - people with more fat in the upper part is higher than people with the "Pear" body type - people who have it more in the lower part.

Make sure when getting quotes you are getting quotes for apples to apples not oranges to apples. 

I should mention that this is an apples to apples comparison between 100k in the S&P 500 and 100k SFH cashing both out after 16 years.

An SFH in Cary/Apex is really only $25K or so more than an apples-to-apples home in some of these cities and with a 20% down payment that really only translates to another $5K downpayment.For anyone that wants to learn more about the Triangle, I suggest signing up to get news from WRAL TechWire.
