Ryan M. Investor goals and desired returns?

Those deals still make sense for those players.I do mostly buy-and-hold in my personal portfolio and we require at least 20% ROE using conservative pro forma modeling assumptions from a custom model we use in Excel.For build or fix-and-flip projects I have seen recently you can get unlevered 30% returns and at least double that with prudent leverage ratios.
