I do everything short-term, so I only care about the ROI. If the ROI is above 15% on a flip, I will be interested. I mean, if I am buying a property and rehabbing it and my total cost is $300,000, I want to make over $45,000 as quickly as possible. If I am doing this several times per year, with the same $300,000, the total ROI can be over 50% ROI per year. I know there are a lot of people who like cash-flow, but I like raw cash, in my bank account ready to invest in the next great deal :-)

That's really interesting that you would go as low as 15% ROI. Are those only on flips or long-term investments too? We go for properties that are no less than 25%, so that just startled me that your number is so much lower than ours.

Curious to know which numbers real estate investors look at when considering properties. Do the numbers vary depending on the property type (ex. single-family homes, apartment complex, etc.).

Thanks :)
