I would maybe understand them being critical if you were telling them you wanted to quit your career to become a rock star, but they are saying you would be wasting your time if you got into real estate?

What developed was an appreciation for the importance of Market Analysis over property analysis...critical difference.While I was learning the Analysis, I became aware (as in hit between the eyes) of the massively important concept of "compounding" and how it can apply to REI.

The problem appears to be you are taking the answers as some form of criticism, or what you're really looking for is validation for what you are doing.So, with that said, let me try again.It appears as though you're mixing multiple formulas together, which is why you are trying to insert numbers into what should really be a simple formula...cash flow. 

California is the first state to do so, but it likely won't be the last, with New Jersey and Minnesota pursuing increased reliance on solar.Despite criticisms of the mandate, the trend towards increased solar use will continue as economies of scale push prices down, utilities pivot their business models and the economic and health benefits of decreased reliance on the grid and fossil fuels are revealed over time.The measure, approved by California regulators in a unanimous decision on Wednesday May 9, 2018, will require all new residential buildings, including apartments and condos that are three stories or fewer, to have rooftop solar panels starting in 2020.The California Energy Commission, the body responsible for approving the decision, estimated the panels will tack on approximately $9,500 in additional construction fees but save homeowners $19,000 in energy bills over the course of 30 years.Reactions are split on this.

Mortgage debt is not necessarily good debt 3-4 even 5-6% debt is good debt 8% debt is neutral to bad, there’s a reason old people tell you to take a 15 year old and try to avoid debt which is rates were double digits for most of the 70 and 80’s and no one wanted debt, debt at 3% made everyone want debt, but the amount of debt you are paying is the critical factor, in other words if you take on 8% debt and you get a 5% return you’ve lost money an 3% mortgage with a 5% return you’ve made money.

I assumed, and we all know what they say about assuming ;)No doubt the BP community runs the gamut and critical thinking should be applied when considering most of the comments/suggestions found in the forums.

No, you cannot do that, either, despite the scores of YouTube gurus and promoters like Uncle G "teaching" it.You (and they) are missing the critical concept: business is supposed to make profit, not losses.
