Do you think BM Regal paint is too expensive for rental? 

For example, a 10% return (or reward) can be worth the risk if you are investing in a Class A single-family rental in a great market with an A+ tenant, but not worth the risk at all if betting on a 16-seed to make it to the Final Four in March Madness.Investors in mortgage bonds utilize the risk-and-reward framework when allocating how to invest capital.

You don't need to, especially on deals that just make sense, but it's a good inclusion if you already have your underwriting model in Excel or gSheets because you can use all those variables, once filled out, to auto-populate various Sensitivity/Stability Analysis charts.Here's what I have for Multifamily/Rentals (all auto-populated from the model):On Fix & Flips, I only include the ARV Stability/Sensitivity Chart (this is the entire model, stability analysis at the bottom):Since having these built out, it's something I mostly just glance at after underwriting to make sure everything looks good.

Hello,I have a few rentals and need some input. 

We bought ourselves a furnished house with a giant pool, and also opened up a Short Term Rental.  

The combo of the current rate environment, the current prices of most properties, and the current rental market makes cashflow much more difficult these days that it was a couple years ago.

@Yu Xiao, using that property as a short term rental during the time you own it will open up some additional tax saving potential as will doing a cost segregation study to take advantage of some accelerated depreciation.  

I own a rental property in Cherry Hill, NJ.
