@Andre Williams Wholetailing is selling it to the end buyer (the person who's going to live there) because they will pay more than an investor.

A cash flow today is more valuable than an identical cash flow in the future because a present flow can be invested immediately and begin earning returns, while a future flow cannot.I was one of my very satisfied client said, "The main reason we did the cost segregation study was to get immediate cash flow right away.

This is essentially the "1% rule" and it's really less of a rule than an observation.So, for your $600K duplex, unless you're getting $3K per side, you're likely not going to have a great cash-on-cash return.

Once again we divide this by our initial investment = $6,182 / $250,000 = 2.4%Now let's add all this numbers to get our overall return: Cash Flow ( -3.4%) + Appreciation (12%) + Debt Paydown (2%) + Cashflow from Depreciation (2.4%) = Total return of 13%Now in these two examples, I've shown you how a house bought all cash that is cash flowing is actually returning less money than an apartment building that is negative on cashflow.

I have been an investor much longer than an agent and I work full time, which gives me a high level of market exposure.
