Granted we're model renters, and not part of the 1% of renters who might just turn around and try to claim tenancy. 

Do you think your model would work in NYC,SF,LA?

You can prove this to yourself by trying consecutive models at 100, 250, and 500 dollar price points.  

Since real estate has always been my secret fancy, here I am.But here's the deal--I know all too well I'm a flavor-of-the-month sort of guy.

NOI, cash flow, ROI, Cap Rate, COC, etc.Whenever I plug the numbers of anything I can find into the spreadsheet with all of these financial models I come up quite short.I live in Montreal and it doesn't seem to be that easy to find the right property in Montreal that will provide a good enough Cap Rate or COC.Basically we need to buy a house or condo at under $100K with net revenues of around $1K/month.These types of properties just aren't available in this city where housing prices are much higher. 

In the future (should I ever scale up and actually get a business model off the ground) I think I would have more motivation to talk about real estate.

I'd make a comment about it here (read: if you can explain the wholesaling business model, please elaborate in a response to this post). 

All mine cash flow wonderfully right now but will also be just fine if I need to drop the short-term model.

They don't do the bootcamp sales model and their instructors are teaching you what systems they've set up in their real estate businesses (I like to call it practical-tactical info).

Unlike me, I can't drive a nail straight and in retrospect that might be a good thing.I think/know that my time can be better spent in doing more productive/beneficial things that will enhance my business, so, I pay to get things done when it's warranted.Granted, there is a cost to doing business and I have baked that into my business model.
