I am having furniture built - I am cutting out the middle man and having expensive pieces made for a fraction of the cost.

@Joe CassandraYep, that's generally how parks are valued - Lot Rent Stream as one separate valuation / POH as separate.In my spreadsheets, I separate the income / expenses for the two different portions.So if you're paying $2000 / mo to a maintenance man and he's spending 75% of his time fixing homes, then $1,500 is going to the POH side of things, and $500 to the Land Side.With the RTO stream, you can use a net present value formula, where you take all the anticipated cashflows, discount by 25% due to people bailing, etc, and then discount that income back to a rate you feel comfortable with (ie. 15%).That will give a theoretical value for those income streams.With POHs, here's what I've seen people do:Value based on what you can sell them for << more commonValue based on a gross rent multiplier, typically 1-3.

I have recently been reading a RE book every 7-10 days and man, have you ever been like “THIS IS A LOT OF INFO!!”

@Jaysen Medhurst thanks for the feedback man.

Man Tom that is a great product.. 

Sorry man.

Which is what I want ( I think of my self as an "old man" investor) However, it gives a 8% perf return with 6% paid quarterly and the remainder paid when the assets are sold....That seems a bit low for a conservative play....Does anyone else have experience playing in "shallow end of the pool" and what returns I should expect.Best, John https://www.battlemonument.com/ https://www.guidonfund.net/about

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll definitely try to find a way to incorporate that into the design.
