When I say in the process, I mean we have secured lending, have evaluated and attempted purchase of 1 candidate (couldn't close the deal) and are now moving on to another candidate that we like.I've been reading around the forums about some of the financial evaluations and am working to understand why Net Present Value of free cash flows is not being used more in the evaluation of a property.It is interesting to understand the CoC as an income statement percentage and it is certainly interesting to do some quick calculations with perhaps the 50% rule.But until you take a series of cash flows, discount them by a Weighted Average Cost of capital, and determine if you can clear your next best alternative (stock market, paying down debt), how do you know if you really have a something that will make you money?

If you would like to learn a bit more about this there is a good primer here:MIRRThe biggest thing MIRR solves is assuming the interim cash flows are reinvested at the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) instead of the project-level return.

I discuss it with my wife sometimes, as she worries about us being too heavily weighted in real estate and not enough in other things (e.g. mutual funds).One thing I come back to often is that to maximize your RoI in any investment, you have to know the market and know how to find the best opportunities and make the most of them.So, if you're buying 2/3 SFRs in B/C neighborhoods for a BRRR strategy, you eventually learn which neighborhoods are best and what's the best way to find the best properties at the best prices and get the best tenants for that neighborhood.

As a sale product they often punch far above their weight.

These lawyers are worth their weight in gold.

Experience is worth it's weight in plutonium...
