There are soooo many factors that influence your true ROI in real estate that I think it is really difficult for a person (especially me) to get a true accurate ROI - Cash flow is only one small part -- appreciation, debt reduction, tax benefits etc all add up in a way that makes real estate seem like the superhero investment and the stock market is the evil villain ---What if you could invest in a stock that pays a 1% monthly dividend, while appreciating steadily.... and on top of that, you can buy $100,000 in retail stock for $20,000 cash and an $80,000 loan --- AND someone else will agree to pay the loan back for you--- BUT, you don't have to buy at retail, you can frequently buy at a 20-30% discount from retail... although you make money every year on the stock, your tax return shows a loss---- and you can repeatedly buy stock on these terms indefinitely.
