I'm very passionate about real estate and what I do, and what I do, importantly, makes sense financially (I'm a great credit risk!)

The HOA is over a quarter of my rent, so it just doesn’t make sense for long term.Another factor is that the area I have rentals is in Brevard, most within two miles of the beach, so insurance has been an issue.

So is my BS radar working ok with the things I pointed out, or am I just missing something and it all makes sense?

No matter what, they all walked out with a sense of just how hard it is to be exceptional.

Figure out what makes sense for you and give it a shot.I had a company contact me about a 2 mo. lease with option of month to month after that. 

I was hesitant in the past with taking on partners but I recently read something that makes a lot of sense....." 50% of a deal is better than 100% of no deal"

Makes perfect sense! 

Knowing that once you cross north of 5th St. you need to increase your vacancy credit by 1% will have a much larger impact on your true returns than using MIRR vice IRR.The nearest I can figure why MIRR doesn't get more traction on BP is that most people don't really understand IRR beyond the definition "the rate that sets the NPV of future cash flows to zero", so the factors that you pointed out don't make sense.

I had never run the numbers but definitely makes sense.

I would like to start this discussion thread so others who are new can get our community's thoughts and opinions so it at least gives the newbies a real sense of risks that are involved with being successful in this industry.
