Slot machines, for example that say "98% payout" mean that, on average, they pay back 98 cents for every dollar bet.

Got to Love Real Estate.

So for most banks I have one 'slot' left to fill.However, there are 2 things to consider: 1) I have about 130k to invest right now, and 2) There is about 250k in equity in Rental 1.So I'm trying to decide, do I drain the equity out of Rental 1 and buy more properties?

Originally posted by Bryan Hancock:One of the calculations that happens frequently is that someone figures a project return for a project that takes less than a year and then annualizes it.So that time I rolled through Vegas and threw a quarter into a slot machine and got two back wasn't really the 630,720,000% ROI I've been bragging about????

The only difference these days is that the modular vinyl windows can be bought preassembled with gas sealed between glass panes and slotted into existing window openings.Whatever you do, Andy, good luck in your business.

For anything that's an emergency, myself or one of my representatives will make all arrangements and meet with the contractors at the home, and under those circumstances we generally dictate the terms directly to the tenant (i.e. there's no heat and the HVAC guy has one slot open this afternoon, that's when we are going to be there regardless of convenience). 

I do love RE.

Pitbulls tend to have both lovers and haters with few folks in between.

I love real estate investing, its awesome.  

Consider too historic preservation requirements with old homes, that place may not be converted with historic lovers in play.With non-profits need to know those "do-gooders" are really in business, not to make a company profit, but to pay salaries, bills and expand their their operations, just like any for profit company.
