I've heard mixed opinions on whether it's worth it for beginners.

Thank you.Plan check is a methodical record building exercise, that involves many different civil servant operatives, with specific agendas and CTA (cover their a$$) criteria.

The stress, time and effort that can come with selling your home on your own, isn't always worth it if you are not aware how to properly protect yourself in a transaction.I get it.

Here is a good rule of thumb:If you can live in one unit for the same amount of money (or something similar) as it would cost you to rent it, then likely the deal is worth it. 

What is the formula that you guys would use to calculate ROI and whether the investment was worth it?

@Gary LeeAs someone who manages a debt fund- the only time we would do something like that would be if the borrower had significant number of other assets with equity and we would also cross collateralize them and get a personal guarantee.If you have little to no net worth then the answer is no.

The higher our value, the higher the equity gain is - even if the % of gain is equal between the properties...the dollar amount is higher on the higher valued home because the property is worth more.

What's the property worth now?

If you have someone to partner up with and get the right deal, it could be worth looking into. 

Any tips on how to find one that is worth paying?
