That works at an individual level as well, not just at a large PE, Hedge Fund level.

The S&P 500 is at its upper P/E range of 25.  

I eventually wanted more of a challenge and worked with local PE firms to gain more knowledge in CRE and CRE Multi-family developments. 

(We already had to spend $$$ on a PE to get the builder to make a foundation fix.)

@Mike Maxwell This link explains CA'S stance relative to your situation:https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/pe...I would file in MO even if the rental operates at a loss.If your wife did not physically work in VA and there's no VA withholding, there likely won't be a VA filing requirement.TX does not have a state filing requirement.

Go find the current Price/Earnings ratio P/E for the stock markets. 

P/E ratio shows about a 3% return.  

Hey Vessi - I would love to hear about the tools you are using as well.I worked for decades as a trader at top tier Wall Street firms before focusing on Real Estate PE.

Currently underwriting 35 SFHs being purchased as a portfolio by a PE Firm in order to push rents via ADU developments.

My clients are mainly real estate developers, PE funds and individual investors doing syndications and my core skill is in real estate valuation / due diligence across real estate asset classes.
