But imagine you don't pay cash but rather borrow so your 5k cash/closing-down payment to buy a 100k STR, then in year 1 it rises 2k - only a paltry 2%, but you make a 40% profit as you are levered 20:1, and that beats the best year for stocks ever. 

Though I can’t imagine how you’re averaging $10k per month.

I can only imagine it has to be a dollar representation of the crypto, but that value is continually changing.

I think it really depends on the neighborhoods, but in Cleveland, I've seen cash tenants with great background checks and 700 credit completely trash units and were some of the worst tenants imaginable, so I think it really depends on the area.  

And I’d imagine a bit less in closing cost since unlike a regular loan there aren’t normally closing cost but a 0.5% Va funding fee.

I imagine sometimes people do not steal items (though sometimes they probably do), they likely break them and then they throw them out as to not be charged for them.

I see this big project and the "buy the block" idea fitting right in with what I imagine for West Philly.

I imagine you will be in a similar situation while you're son is at school. 

Is all this “cashflow” showing on my spreadsheets simply a figment of my imagination?

And like a confused Kevin Costner inexplicably wandering his cornfield at dusk I started to hear my own Ray Liota whispering to me, “If you build it…”I can imagine if at that time AI chatbots had been a thing I may have asked it “Why not build?”
