We use APR so we can compare apples to apples.

Don’t mix apples and oranges.I agree with Jake.

We initially got estimates to renovate our big barn  for 175-220k and ended up banging it out ourselves in 3 months on weekends and nights for 20k.

With it being a newer built home, it's hard to get comps that's truly apples to apples.

Make sure you compare apples to apples as they say

None of this matters to you though, just compare apples to apples.

Hi everyone,I am a small STR investor and in the past few years I have been investing in both stocks and real estatewith COC returns of about 20% for the past 3 years.I am considering diversifying my portfolio with LTR and I know that returns there are going to be a lot smaller.So I was curious to know if there was a rough formula that could include mortgage paydown, tax advantages, and estimated appreciationto be able to compare apples with apples.I am only familiar with Cashflow, CoC, Cap Ex, and IRR.

For an apples to apples comparison, you have to look at the IRR.

If you need education, you should go to a Barnes and Noble and look for real estate books vs. handing thousands over to a guru

I heard Google and Apple is moving to Durham.
