Do you know how to calculate profit and loss on an investment?

I invested $500K to buy a condo- I rented it at $4K a month- my association fees are

$500/mo. – sadly the tenant did not pay after a while and – It took me 6 months to get

him out- I had to fix up the place and then it took me a while to re-rent it.

Total rent period over 36 months was 26 months- at $2K a month I received $104k minus

the association fees $18K and other condo expenses including rent commission and

repairs $6K. If I sell the condo today to liquidate, can I win

after closing and commission.

James B., MN

I have been participating in your series of zoom training on creative RE structure. I know we have 2 more training calls, but I have a few questions. By the way this is the best training information and real info I have received yet. I have taken a seminar and a conference, and nothing has compared. And you were so real about the “reality” of raising to institutions. I greatly appreciate this because it’s the opposite of what all other trainers and so-called hedge fund managers have been telling me. I’m a Broker and really want to capture the investors in my current client list- and believe this is the way. I may/may not be on the call because I work on weekends. Hope I make it.
