You need to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine if it's worth it.  

Not the most scalable method, but I like the benefits it affords me while I am still a smaller operation.Completing 500 builds in just over 10 years is impressive for someone who just sorta fell into it.

How many years managing is equivalent to the benefit of the 20% down? 

I’d love to hear your experiences, especially if there were unexpected benefits or challenges.Looking forward to your insights! 

That self-sufficiency test is sometimes the killer on 3-4 units, but the conventional 5% down option has benefits too and that's how I got into my first multi-unit househack.  

So, I feel that for a balanced discussion, this string can benefit from knowing Grocapitus’ returns, since Neal founded it in February 2018, when he resigned from Financial Attunement.

Small (1700 sqft or less) medium (1701 -1999 sqft) and large (2000 sqft or more)Cost benefit analysis Estimates IF 300+ homes are built over 10 yearsAlot of technical information to say that:- When I start development, i will be going into uncharted territory. - New construction will be comped against other new construction - Start out with enough comps to justify the price point- keep the area tight to consolidate the risk vs building one or two in different parts of the same neighborhood. 

The estimates provided in the book are probably 30-40% lower now, but the real benefit may be in the structure/approach of how to estimate costs.

Reducing rent sets a precedent and can attract price-sensitive tenants rather than those prioritizing quality.Negotiating renewal terms can make sense if tied to benefits like lease length or tenant stability, but always ensure it aligns with your long-term goals.

To see how much a 1031 exchange will benefit you in a sale you must first calculate the performance of your current property.
