In today's reality, it's likely to be a lot longer, but you can't really count on that.

I am in San Diego, and vacancy rates are generally below 5%, and have been for some time, but I still count on 10% vacancy in my analysis of local properties.

So treat the fully occupied thing as a bonus, definately don't count on it.There was one other thing I was looking at incorrectly when I was property hunting back then.

If you want to use a new appraisal, count on waiting a year.

I understand that you feel your agent deserves more, but it is really not up to you to count everyone's profit.

Since you are willing to manage your properties yourself, you can comfortably count on 20% cash-on-cash return.

I do now, instead of buying a house in 1976, I wish I had put all the money in Wal-Mart Stock, does that count?

First, get rid of the fixer and the REO from the list...they won't be counted in the appraisal, most likely...Second, there isn't enough information here to determine if any of the other properties are comps or not.
