@Bogdan Masca That is such a broad question...You can flip a house every 2/3 months and make 20 percent on each flip so you are doubling your money each year.....You can also get buy and hold properties that go up maybe 10 percent a year....there are so many different things so it depends on your goal

There is no actual tax on a gift, it just reduces the lifetime/inheritance exemption of $5M.  

While yes, it's based on your percent of ownership, what about brand new owners that haven't contributed as much as those that purchased in 2010?

It had a lifetime residential warranty too.  

Many investors simply had to walk away and they lost their 20 percent deposits on occasion. 

@Dave Fosteryea 39.6% percent does seem a bit much to pay.

I was under the impression if you used BRRRR you could get a larger portion back out verses the regular loan were you get a percent of the equity?

If after five weeks it's not rented drop it five percent.  

Simply put, on annual basis, your total income is what percent of the total value.

Don't analyze using percent rules.
