The argument is that your IRA is over benefiting from an investment that it did not proportionally make.

However things like vacancy and real estate commissions will be proportional to rent.I was going to say that the 50% expenses is probably too conservative, but my main point was  rent > mortgage/taxes/insurance does not lead to positive cash flow.

If you're in New Jersey or Texas, property appreciation outpacing rent hikes could actually be very bad, since now your property tax bill blew up on you (but rent didn't go up proportionally).

After accounting for closing costs, you end up with a very slim margin.I have noticed that a fairly large proportion of the investors here have their own real estate license so they save on selling costs.

The purchaser or his or her transferee and his or her tenants shall have the right to harvest and gather the crops grown by them on the place for the year in which the redemption is made, but must pay a reasonable rent for the lands for the proportion of the current year to which such redemptioner may be entitled.

This is deductible in proportion to the % of your home that is used as purely a rental (the bedrooms).

I want to make sure that the test and control files are similar and at least do not significantly differ from each other for my key variables.The Test & control files will be the same size splitting the total file using a random number generator.I then plan to measure the key variables using T-Test for each of the two files to make sure they pass the critical value 0.05. (95% significance).However, I have been asked to either a) ensure proportions are maintained, i.e gender (Stratified Sampling) or b) make each file almost the same by sorting on the key variable and selecting every 2nd record as the Test file Queries:1) Can I still use T-Tests to measure the similarity / difference between the key variable within the file or do i now need a different stats technique and if so what should i use?

I would go on apartment search websites and see how long units were listed, proportion of inventory that was occupied with renters, etc.That helped me make some decisions as well. 

There were walkways where trash including things like plastic milk jugs were compacted by the owners feet.

Finally, is the necessity for and Owner's Policy (if any) proportional to the equity the owner has in the property, i.e., stands more to lose?
