@Bodhayan SharmaRules of Thumbs are back of the envelope formulas which gives you an idea, but you need to do a complete analysis to get a more precise answer. 

But when it's the real deal, as you know, the ROI is off the charts.

Originally posted by Will Barnard:I agree with the exposure to risk comment and that investors tend to avoid as much risk as possible, however, homeruns often come on rehabs requiring more time invested, so that does not follow the example quoted.Playing devils advocate, I could argue that many base hits spreads or diversifies risk rather than the whole lot in one investment.Of course you are right and I could even quantify it and chart it with a portfolio risk equation - but Bryan was asking why so many investors think the way they do.I would also add for Bryan that fund investors, IMHO, are different than the typical RE investor.

precisely because they would have to "bring a check" to the closing table, in order to move forward, and move on...As for signing a "non compete," "non disclosure" and whatever else a realtor agreed they'd do, not do, or not "disclose..."

I continue to study and practice every day with my charts.

this may offer a somewhat more precise 'explanation' http://www.irafinancialgroup.com/solo401kcontribut...

The manufactures have charts that answers your question. 

It's actually off the chart, but at around $280,000 the 1% Rule will generate about $200 in Cash Flow per month.Here's what it takes to hit $200 Cash Flow for varying purchase prices. $100,000 home will need to rent for more than $1250 (1.25% Rent-to-Price) a month.$60,000 home will need to rent for about $900 (1.5% Rent-to-Price) a month.$30,000 home will need to rent for about $645 (2.15% Rent-to-Price) a month.From looking at the table, obviously a 2% property is generating > $200 cash flow nearly across the board. 

I just needed to learn how to close the deal ;p  So take everything as a stepping stone to the next, There is no driving directions, only a map and a compass in this game ;p you have to chart your own route

I am a Technical Futures Trader who uses a chart to just Trade the Current Price Movement, or scalper, regardless of the Fundamentals.
