Also a huge fan of MMM and would be psyched to grab a beer with you and trade stories anytime!  

@Greg Nolan  "selling broker put herself down for 3% on both sides of the deal"When we did one of these back in '94 the broker was prohibited from participating - - it's called insider trading. 

I never feel it is a waste of time to pass along knowledge received over 40 years of investing in and trading various financial assets including real estate. 

Ive been looking at all the options and most require Internet but most my tenants are older and do not have access to it or are unfamiliar with computers and smartphones. 

Some great business cards are AMEX Plum (used as a trade credit line that offers 1.5% cash back on all purchases if paid off within 10 business days).  

Your situation and choices will be different than theirs most likely and you'll be trading a more actively managed investment style and the work implicit to this style for a better quality of living during the accumulation phase and less flexibility during "retirement" or financial independence.  

Hey Account Closed, if you could email me that screenshot, or simply attach it here when you get back to a computer, that would help a lot towards trying to debug this for you.

I use the BA II Plus for computing interest, future value or similar basic calculations.

If cap rates were 9 cap 3 years ago for multifamily and stuff is trading at a 6 cap  today maybe a deal is a 7 but a 9 is just dreaming.I hope you find the holy grail that gets you going I really do.

Yes, it will when you account for inflation, but that is the trade off for the much higher Cap Rates you'll enjoy today.
