I mean if I combine the two companies into one entity.

Cashflow, appreciation, some combination?

I actually used a combination of those to find the HOA.What I did was go to Google Maps - I couldn't get the street view of the house because the google car can't drive through the gated community - so I used the little yellow man to identify where the street view would be for the front gates of the community.

Are these types of deals analyzed by cap rate, appraisal of each individual unit or a combination? 

“It looks like the combination of limited available inventory and a decline in the share of distressed sales in the market continue to put upward pressure on prices” says Daniel Silver, an economist at JP Morgan in New York.According to the National Association of Realtors, property values rose 11.5% over the last few years, resulting in an average sale price of $197,000.

I'll take the combination of low taxes, appreciation, population growth and climate all day.

My ultimate goal is to combine both real estate and construction in a national corporation.

The  house is in great condition and has many modern updates.

Obviously, on the 30-yr example I would be able to combine the $12,000 I saved from cash flow with the small amount of equity I built up; but that wouldn't be as good as the equity built up from the 15-yr.

I've watched too many politicians fall, and we have worked too hard building our reputation to tie it to someone else's character.I may be political at times, but our business is an enterprise...a free one...participating in modern capitalism.
