My question to Mike is purely mathematical: how much market must loose in order for me to start losing money from my paycheck?

Strengths:  People skills, carpentry, gifted (IQ), career is math teacher, love analyzing deals, pretty good instincts with numbers, etc, lots of experience flipping home owner houses (hired by others to renovate bathrooms, kitchens, and have done whole house gut renos), degree in mathematics and interior design, basically skilled at making profit for not a lot of $$, knows what neighborhood I want to buyWeakness:  not a lot in savings, not clear judgement who is a good lender or agent (easily ‘fooled’), credit isn’t strong either because I just went through a divorceWhat do you suggest?  

Why do we make students take advanced mathematics past basic arithmetic?  

It may seem that it would make no mathematical difference whether it's deducted from one property or spread between the two of them, and often it does not.

(Take it from a Mathematics degreed, NASA scientist).You can not take a small sample from a larger environment with a specific set of characteristics and group them into one audience and then conclude that BECAUSE of the characteristics you have seleceted you then project that characteristic over the entire group.Duh.. that obviously doeant make sense.Let me translate this into English.You have a bunch of apples. some red, some green some yellow.You take all the red ones away and place them into one group.

If the answer is "NO", then I have MATHEMATICALLY proven you wrong.

So I crunched the numbers solely based off of the math and the pictures that I observed. so here is the mathematical breakdown that I've come up with: with 5% down fha loan, and the other scenario is with a 30% down payment as a conventional loan (Both accounting for a 10k out of pocket rehab budget).

$500 rents just don't work mathematically.

Rental properties are nothing but a mathematical formula, just like owning a stock it is an inanimate object and a financial vehicle to get you to your goal.

This is a huge mathematical problem that is very common among REI of different levels of experience.
