Mathematically they could do 10+ projects but we settled on 8.

You will see that mathematically, the 2% rule produces a CAP rate of 12%. 

It's a mathematical impossibility and this ponzi scheme is going to crash.Hopefully, when this house of cards comes tumbling down, the people will revolt and DEMAND a return to sanity.

Mathematically, makes sense and logically too.

I will buy every deal you have that will return a straight 27% on my investment, like the deal you mentioned in that thread.Send me the address, comps, rehab breakdown and pictures of this one and I'll happily make an offer for an amount that mathematically returns me 27% on exit!

This is just a mathematical exercise that hinges on a whole bunch of assumptions:risk toleranceability to attain x% when investing outside of the shackles of your company retirement planamount of time available to spend pursuing those returnsreturn assumption inside your company planfederal and state marginal tax rates in the futurerange of options in your company 401k.

Mathematical errors: If you miscalculated a deduction or credit, an amended return can help correct the error.Filing status change: If you originally filed as single but are now married or qualify as head of household, you can amend your return to update your filing status.Missing or incorrect income: If you missed reporting income or reported an incorrect amount, you can amend your return to get this corrected.Missing deductions or credits: If there was a deduction that you were entitled to, but you forgot to claim it, you can amend your return to include the deduction.How should you amend your tax return?

So, mathematically, you should continue to rent.However, for your longterm financial wellbeing, owning is better than renting and you build up equity and benefit from rent increases from owning investment property plus all the tax benefits you don't get from renting.I would look at buying a duplex in a market like Lansing, MI.

Now I am no genious, but I am certainly proficient in mathematics and a 385k loan at 10% interest is $3208.33 of interst alone, let alone the principle!

@Edward Stephens Everyone has told you why this is mathematically a bad idea.
