If I'm able to achieve the same investment metrics (IRR, CoC return, ROI, etc) is it like comparing "apples to apples" or more like "apples to oranges" since it's with different financing? 

For those who haven't yet seen the news about Apple, this is a good sign: Silicon Valley Business Journal: AppleApple is the largest tech company in the world, and growth for them is growth for Silicon Valley, and growth for the housing market in the Bay Area.

Apple's second headquarters is here with 10,000 employees.  

Seems interesting also to note that you can directly relate this to cap rate (perhaps to allow for a more apples-to-apples comparison of a residential investment and a commercial investment).

It just isn't apples to apples and the accounting is setup in a non-customizable way that may not even work for our company.Lastly, the staff or "Implementation Team" is not very helpful and don't even seem very knowledgeable in their own software, that's if we can actually get them on the phone.Has anyone else had these issues with their switch?

A bad apple may slip through cracks one day and make me regret it, but for now it works.   

They are like apples and monkeys.

you need to compare apples to apples.. unless your looking at turn key inventory and then homes on the MLS  ( not Zillow or truila)  that is what you need to look at.most turn key homes by reputable companies will be extensively rehabbed .. were MLS homes from a homeowner that has lived there 20 years may have 20 year old mechanicals roof etc..

If you wouldn't have your flip contractor work on your home, then your spreadsheet is useless for renovation anyway and you would just be comparing apples to oranges.

@David Krulac  its state law here to replant by hand... so to that end I have been Johnny apple seed.
