I am neither a tax expert or a financial planner, but I would add one thing to this conversation for us all to think about:  If we're highly motivated, successful investors and entrepreneurs, what are the chances we'll want to wait until 59 1/2 to retire?  

Did the estimates match what you budgeted for?

When I move down and start rehabbing in the lower 48 again, my first few estimates wont come in too low, thats for certain!

So I just took the jump, and went on the ride.My offer was never accepted, and chances are your first wont be the one that's accepted too, but that first offer I made and just forcing myself to do it made me comfortable and got me over analysis paralysis.Hopefully you can take something from that :DManuel

Which include new roof, paint and new gas lines.Wholesale fee $1,500Closing and Holding costs $1,000Total cash in $32,500 (which I am supplying)Estimated selling price $45,000Total projected profit after 5% closing costs $10,250 of which I getInvestor Payout (5% for 6 months = 10% APR $1,250Investor Projected Profit (20% profit split) $2,050So my investment of $32,500 for six-months will return $3,300Does the above seem fair?

My rough estimate is it takes 20 hours a year to manage a rental, if you're managing it yourself.

Do NOT use zillow for the rent estimate.

:)Estimated 91% of commercial space increase in the next five years in Estonia"On the data submitted today by the International Conferenece of Real Estate, the commercial space in five years in Estonia can be about 91 percent more than the current retail space.That's assuming that all of the new shopping center projects are realized.Present, there are 370,000 square meters of commercial space.

The idea is to get a quick estimate of profitability but why is are taxes/ins left out of the calculation?
