And I assume their model to compare is towards the "best case scenario" when it comes to saving and investing....as in, the person doing it is actually disciplined to actually save money each month and invest it in sound investments....rather than go out and buy the latest iPhone....or a bigger TV....or a new car.....In other words, the person saving $500/month renting over buying a home actually takes that $$ and invests it in something that reliably and consistently makes $$.....and what % of the population fits that category?

My Excel model calculates 40 different cap rates for every property.

I'm looking at small condos downtown Denver and was wondering what everyone's opinions are on long term tenants VS the Airbnb model?

A great agent should be able to understand your goals, your business model, and even add value or other angles to that model.

Good luck to OP...and you while driving that pedo-van/Mystery Machine around town that you’re so proud of.OP to better “substantiate” - what make and model is your vehicle is?
