Make sure you are comparing apples to apples and netting any broker/realtor fees to know your true take-home value.

I think that more people coming in increases the odds of getting a sour apple.   

Odds are it won't be the same person that does both, however, you can probably get a solid apples-to-apples comparison of options.  

A builder can make a profit on a 100k lot when the house at 2200 to 2400 sq ft sells for 400k.. that's about 50k oi their jeans and usually only about 50 to 75k cash equity. so its a double your money cash on cash in less than a year which is pretty standard.can make it work at 300k exit though you would lose moneyBut as for rentals Go which I believe is what Ray is looking at.. for me personally. the age of the housing stock there in the inner city is all about 50 to 120 years old.. some sell for 10k other like FS sell for 60 to 100k and need 10 to 30k in rehab.. for me I would rather have a 100k rental next to a 400k new build then be in an area of all older 75k homes with no new builds in sight or will ever be there. those truly have no upside other than if rent rises .. but again we are apples and oranges we are inventory providers or providers of new housing.. not landlords. 

. - yeah, as of now, it only works on a computer or on the Apple App.But I'll re-tag for ya so they'lll all see your message above!

Unless you find the next Microsoft or Apple (and wait 30 years) you can't do that with any other medium!

I am in the high desert area Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, etc...I am looking to invest on a SFH or a small multi family property.

I just looked at some bigger tech stocks and the only ones that I can see worth holding are Microsoft and Apple since these are trending up from when you bought.

The goal is to try to get an apples-to-apples com- parison of the selling prices, where the only difference between the properties is the fact that they are being sold as "distressed" sales. 

And then look at that (inevitable) cost per-unit per-month leading up to that expense in 10 years.But, like I said before, nothing is every apples-to-apples.
