Scenario 2 - 9.5% Yield (Multiple notes) vs Stock at 6%:For this scenario we are going to use the same numbers as above the only difference we are going to be buying a new note with all of the money we get after ever year.Year 0 - 12k to buy the note Year 1 - We have 3024.24 (252.02 * 12) Year 1 - We buy a second note 3024.24 at 9.5% for 4 years -- 48 payments of $75.98.Year 2 - 3024.24 (1st note) + 911.76 (75.98 * 12 -- 2nd note)Year 2 - We buy a third note 3936 at 9.5% for 3 years -- 36 payments of $126.08.Year 3 - 3024.24 (1st note) + 911.76 ( 2nd note) + 1512.96 (126.08 * 12 -- 3rd note)Year 3 - We buy a fourth note 5,448.96 at 9.5% for 2 years -- 24 payments of $250.19.Year 4 - 3024.24 (1st note) + 911.76 ( 2nd note) + 1512.96 (3rd note) + 3002.28 (250.19 * 12 -- 4th note)Year 4 - We buy a fifth note and final 8,451,24 at 9.5% for 1 year -- 12 payments of $741.03.Year 5 - 3024.24 (1st note) + 911.76 ( 2nd note) + 1512.96 (3rd note) + 3002.28 (4th note) + 8,892.36 (741.03 * 12 -- 5th note).Total: $17,343.6 While this second scenario does outperform the 6% stock market return, it only give you a 7.64% annualized return while is better, if we implement scenario 2 in a self directed IRA where lets assume they charge you $150 every time you buy a new asset that would technically be $750 less of profit giving you a profit of $16,593.6 and a 6.7% annualized return.
