making offers on houses and just wondering what the expected return is Cash on cash

I am looking to purchase my second investment property and have done the other basic calculations that BP recommends, but am having difficulty in figuring out how to calculate the Cash on Cash return.

Depends on the business plan and your return goals.

But just run the numbers on the scenarios and see which one offers the best returns.

@Shea DavidsonWhy not just lend it vs buying a partial.You can have it secured by an asset and it’s mailbox money vs buying a partial and having to read the fine print of what happens if the note goes non - performingWhat types of returns are you looking for ?

Or properties just never pull that kind of return for that kind of investment?  

You can 1031 into passive opportunities later in life where the deferred tax continues to make a return for you all your life.2.

Are you measuring the incremental rent return on your improvements?

I would file the federal tax return mainly for the ECI declaration and to submit the city return which is mandatory anyway.

What are your returns from your real estate investments going to be at the end of that year, or 5 years from now?
