CoC RoI is hard to predict because I am trying to do the deal without putting cash down.

This will be around 150k, but down in a 5-6 years this project should help triple (or more) that amount invested when its time to sell the house.I would use 50k from selling stock and the rest from the HELOC, starting paying right away, up to 1200 per month or so.

I'm a newbie and need to hear market predictions to quell my fears of buying my first property at this time.

I question if their intent is to pander to constituents to get votes rather than make decisions in their constituents best interests.Here is some predictions: 1) rent for existing tenants will go up max allowed increase 2) rents for turned over units will go up far higher than the historical average.  

Typically they have been restricted to Wall Street type products like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

I could get that in a stock market index fund with a whole lot less hassle and risk.If I were to mortgage it (assuming I even could, what with the fractional ownership) it would be 340k purchase with 20% down @ 5.5% = 68k down pmt and 1823/mo (22k/yr) in mortgage costs.

It has fallen, but not to the level that I predicted.

Co-star stock however is up.

This is a very passive way of getting involved in real estate that provides fixed returns that are usually higher than the stock market.Those are a few ways to get involved in real estate in a more passive role.
