Arguably the question is how much would it cost in personal time to work free leads, then compare apples to apples, unfortunately i do believe the cold calling free leads (FSBO's) would probably get you the most bang for your buck but which process can be fully automated.

So, if you say have 50k in equity after 5 years and sold, you could (for the purposes of apples to apples comparison) add ~$700 a month "cash flow" equivalent after fee's etc.  

Make sure to ask the insurance agents about these different points so you are comparing apples to apples and have liability coverage as a landlord. 

I take a course on Web 2.0 at the Apple Store whenever they have one.

If you were truly dominating you would have a knowledge graph when people search your relevant keywords.And...THAT ios what market domination looks like.

@Scott Nipp you're talking apples and oranges here....If you flip with your IRA you will be subject to UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) which basically means your IRA will pay taxes and at the trust rate which can be in the 35% plus range (just off the top of my head). 

We're comparing apples to oranges in that front.Anytime someones says why buy a house @ 7% that can't make me much, I can get a 5% tbill.

Their CF formulaWithout those 2 things, it's like comparing apples-and-oranges.

Eric, comparing investing inside of an IRA vs. outside of an IRA is like comparing apples and oranges.

Sears, Apple, Comcast, Coca-Cola, etc all have complaints and the complainer thinks he or she is right all the time.
