$500 down/ $226.93 for 18 months @ 12.75%Profit: $2450 ($4200-$1750)Interst: $ 385Total net: $2835 Cash on cash return: 184% Cash on cash return is figured by dividing the profit you make in a year (before taxes) divided by out of pocket expenses then moving the decimal to the right two spaces.In this case 226.93 x 12 months = $2723.16 PLUS the $500 (down payment received) = $3223 collected in the first 12 months.$3223 divided by $1750 = 1.84Move the decimal to the right two spaces.

No, I didn't misplace a decimal, fifteen dollars per $1k of value, very often this is a >$10k transfer tax (both out of, and back into, the LLC).

The decimal places may differ, but a budget is a budget.   

(However, it is being decimated on a daily basis because I am not fulfilled at what I do.)You ask what am I willing to do?

That said, i do have an Airbnb in DC which got decimated but thankfully i placed it on forbearance for a few months while we pivoted to a long term rental which now breaks even. 

People (and the media) talk about Atlanta as if it's a homogenous market, but Atlanta is actually made up of so many different types of areas (as well as different demographics, different socio-economic pockets, different growth curves, etc) that it's very tough to generalize the current real estate market conditions.It's probably safe to say that in most of Atlanta, replacement costs are higher than resale values (so building isn't worthwhile right now), but I definitely wouldn't consider all of Atlanta bad for real estate, as long as you're flexible in your types of investment.Parts of the inner city are warzones, where years of mortgage fraud and run-down communities have decimated the real estate market and where there is little opportunity to make any money short-term.

I think individual investors make decisions based on their personal investment objectives and on each individual property because they don't have the option of adjusting decimal points on a spreadsheet to make things balance at the end of the day.This is a neighborhood that I care about and want the next owner to pay attention to the property and the tenants.

It might be that your admin team just needs to update the Excel sheet to display more decimal points.

Decimated by socialism.
