They put more weight on it than anything else.

Hi,I'm new to BiggerPockets so I'm not sure where I should be posting this question. Does anyone here use WACC? If so, how do you account for points upfront? What I'd like to do is use it to run Monte Carlo simulation...

Personally I wouldn't put too much weight into it in the beginning.

I don't take advantage of it, I pay them for their time, but their eyes and assistance here and there is worth its weight in goal.I think if you can tackle those things on the front end, you may be off to a pretty prosperous investing career.

With regard to pets, I don't allow non-fixed pets, require the tenant to list the name, breed, weight and age of the pets, and fix it within the lease to specifically name those pets. 

Naturally rebalance your investment portfolio so you aren't too heavily weighted in Real Estate. 2.

It is one of those sort of random stats that could carry some weight. 

But I think I would weigh the risk/benefit ratio against the more frivolous scenarios and take the catastrophic scenarios out of the equation, or at least give them very little weight.

Instead of your business putting all of the profits back into itself, it needs to start paying you for your time, which in turn goes into the household to take some of the weight off of her. 

So like all these markets  LOCATION is paramount you simply cant buy based on return numbers or price points.. the take away here is buy the best you can not the houses that look best on paper.. a 5 or 6% return that you actually get on these rentals over time without major issues with tenants needs to be weighted with the " My Criteria says I need to make 9 to 12% return) which turns out many times like what your describing above basically no return or negative returns with little hope to right the ship for many years to come.
