A little bit about me - I graduated summa cum laude in 2020 from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics, and minors in Mathematics and Food Systems.

I'm willing to lose out on that small spread to have the peace of mind of having a much lower monthly 'nut'.Mathematically its not ideal, but there's more to life than math.

It's mathematically impossible.

There is no mathematical sense in paying down that mortgage early, it's costing you a lot to do so. 

If the difference is 3% then mathematically your best option would be an investment that pays back more than it saves.

This will translate to a range of NOI, it's a straight forward mathematical formula.

@Romney Salanoa one of the things can certainly get you a head start is learning how to value properties as an agent, learning and knowing how to comp properties is as mathematical as it is an art form, sounds like you're already doing some of that but becoming proficient at it should give a leg up and free you up to deal with more important issues later on down the road.

transient residents will always care less about a property than long term residents, which increases the risk to the collective community. you're lying to yourself if you think you'll mathematically prove your way out of that. 

interesting there are completely different responses when it is possible there is one mathematically right answer 

At what selling price does the potential $50k income work out, mathematically?
