  1. In a perfect world where tax rates dont move. With that cashflow, equity, plus adding in 5% avg yearly appreciation. In 4 years 40k(appr)+18720(cash flow)+equity(50k)=$108,720. In 8 years $217,440. Now own 4 of these. $869,760 in 8 years.

  2. Hello I have a quick question so when I utilize the 4 square method it tells me that I am at a 4.8% for my cash on cash return but when I use the (2%) method or the 2% 50% 70 % I should say it tells me I’m a little over 1 percent I am just trying to get the same outcome for both methods any help?? Thanks

  3. when I do a property from online they usually have an estimate monthly payment , when I do income minus expenses I end up with a negative cashflow.. what am I doing wrong?

  4. Seen this video years ago had to search for it,didn't remember the channels name or what the guy looked like.But I found it!! An it was just as helpful today as it was when I first seen it if not more

  5. Probably a great idea to get a credit check, my parents did not do a credit check and the tenant refused to pay rent that cost them over $20,000 and it took mouths to get him out.

  6. Pretty obvious analysis. I did the same when I was buying my properties.
    However, I have to give a credit for such simple and clear presentation. Well done 👍🏻

  7. Of course your example return is higher than the average, because these numbers are completely out of reality. You could never find a property that would rent for 1% of its market value. Paying 200k and renting for 2k, is impossible, and would be a dream for any investor. That's why most are still on stock market.
