Minus the I/O payments, that is a total $315,000, or 31.5% ROI off of his initial $1,000,000 investment.

One of the things that has helped me out a lot are podcast, go to the apple store type flip 2 freedom and just start listening to the podcast.

I am going post this one and it's going to be long (sorry in advance).When reading the discussion, I think it is devolving into debating the merits of apples, oranges, bananas and grapes all at the same time.

This makes it much easier to compare apples to apples.Electrical plans are good to have but local building code will determine most of it.

For example, many people view Apple as a "safe" investment at the current price, but it was risky at $14 a share.

I Love to answer questions about local properties, I pride myself in knowing whos got what, where, and for how much, in my area, and any other information that would give a seller, or a buyer their best possible chance at owning a little piece of that Apple Pie Dream we all have.

Not an Apples to Apples comparison, but gutters, whatever the price, buys you piece of mind if you plan to hold onto the property.

The thought of comparing real estate to a stock portfolio is apples and oranges, in RE that "equity" is preceived to be higher but in reality it's at your cost less depreciation and the only way to get money out of the walls is to refinance it or sell it.

Peter, as others stated, an NOO loan will likely be higher than the figures you quoted, plus, in order for investors to compare apples to apples, we use the entire purchase price and assume the loan would be taken out for that amount.

What are my assets worth if my customers cant pay rent or buy my apples or ect.?
