When you can't figure out what is the better investment, you are only stuck with what you know.Take for example the following spreadsheet with 3 kinds of properties- a Cash Flow Property- a Semi Cash Flow Property- a Pure Appreciating PropertyThis is PURE Math.The problem is when you don't know the MATH and therefore, can't figure out what is the best property because you can't boil them down to an IRR.I know that the majority here won't get it.

Montreal still has plenty of room to grow but not the best for purely cash flow purposes. 

When this passes, I sell everything residential and become purely a transactional investor (flips and wholesales) in the residential realm.
