Going into the Tulies on stats and other mundane Micro stuff is for analyst's Going belly to belly with a buyer and seller and closing a deal that's for a Salesmen and a very good one..

The fact he comes out the very night their AC stops working is one of the reasons I have such a good reputation as a landlord. i heard that your portfolio in sojac went belly up, but I wasn't sure why.

I just gave you the juice now go and get it!

On another site just last week a tenant claimed to have lost $500 worth of food when the frig went belly up and wondered if "legally" the landlord had to reimburse them.Gosh; all those lobsters and prime rib going to waste!

Return on Equity only matters when you sell,  what you need to focus on is cash on cash return,  if you are getting a large jump up in equity then you might also be getting a better cash on cash return or you might be able to get in with less cash and juice up that cash on cash even higher. 

Who you partner with makes a difference in a lender's risk, someone a step out of bankruptcy or bad credit can mean law suits, exposure to other creditors or partners, weak partners can go belly up in a project, a good partner should be able to carry as much water as you do.When say 2 partners have mortgaged a property held in the business entity and later take in other partners, the lender can go by the terms of the note and security agreement and call the loan in really bad transactions or simply not renew the loan later on, so it does matter who you deal with. 

It seems if I'm only doing one deal in 90 days that it's not enough and I need to really think about scaling up to at least 3-4 to make the juice worth the squeeze.

Is the juice worth the squeeze (Will i see a return on investment by updating electrical)?

If they aren't fully engaged and willing to see it through, it's a non starter.Likewise, unless this is the deal of the century with tremendous upside, the juice often isn't worth the squeeze.
