Mathematically (which is the greatest importance in real estate, with location, location, location being a close second, 200k net loss in population of a total 39.7M is less than 1/2 of 1% of the population.

The navy lifted restrictions on tattoos because roughly 1/3 of people eligible to join have body modification of some kind, and they realized if they immedialty discounted a third of the population, you mathematically prevent yourself from finding all possible top candidates.

From a mathematical standpoint, you should be able to find opportunities that get you a solid return. 

This started the whole mathematical wheels spinning on how to gauge the success.

Carrying and paying off debt are not simply mathematical actions.

Just be aware that average annual return is not the same as average annual rate of return.In its most basic mathematical formula, you take the sum of the return rates of your investment over a specific number of years and divide it by the number of years.

@Joe VilleneuveHey Joe,I’m actually well trained in mathematics and actually won a state-wide math competition for high schoolers In South Dakota (not meaning to brag).

But mathematically, the money doesn't really exist.

Will it mathematically be better to own multiple properties with 30 years terms and pay much more interest or shorter terms with less properties?  

I would never suggest this to the average citizen but mathematically it can make sense. 1.
