I need to know which factor is most important so I can add a "weight" to it. 

I wouldn't put too much weight on dollar values as they are more of a scorecard and by themselves aren't useful at all. 

I completely understand if one does not to go Pro, but for me, it is weighted heavily as a time~money decision as well.

I just looked at my quarterly statement and I made $43 this quarter..... can anyone shed some light on cashing out an IRA. 

Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

@William Hochstedler @Abdul AzeezI'm in agreement with all three of you -- it seems when playing the long game, as I am -- the weight is on leveraging wisely, letting tenants carry that load, and expanding your risk profile across as many properties as you can "afford" to meet your cashflow goals.  

She is leaning on doing it Anyone can shed some light on why this is good or bad for beginners? 

When comparing to the Australian market it is proving considerably harder to find the kind of deals you guys can find (In the US).Can anyone shed some light on if they have had success finding deals with similar ROI and COC return in the AU market?.

Does anyone whom has experience in this matter shed some light on this?
