When you break down the numbers by individual properties using the first purchased property as a templated for the additional properties purchased however, you will notice that the numbers being used in the example are not scaling correctly.It took me some time to figure out why the numbers were not scaling and adding up correctly but I finally believe I at least partially figured out why the numbers didn’t add up.By the end of year 3 the 3 properties are owned for the following lengths of time and reflect the correct numbers associated with that length of ownership (loan balance, equity, property value, etc).Property A - owned 3 yearsProperty B - owned 1 yearProperty C - owned 0 years, it will be purchased at the start of year 4But by the end of year 4 the properties should reflect the following years of ownership with their respective numbers associated with the years of ownership (loan balance, equity, property value, etc).Property A - owned 4 yearsProperty B - owned 2 yearsProperty C - owned 1 yearHowever the summary total numbers that were provided in the book for all 3 properties at the end of year 4 did not add up correctly.
