Reading Vanessa Peters book “the busy professionals guide to passive real estate investing” and in it she has a chart showing initial investment of 100k, 8% preferred return, 20% cash on cash return including sale of property, and 5 year hold.Each year she shows $8k return (years 1-4) then a $168k return in year 5 including the return of equity.
