The case is made frequently for using a geometric mean instead of an arithmetic mean.

I just joined bigger pockets and I just want to share my excitement and enthusiasm!

:) : ) :) I love this information 

I am in the process of building systems and planting seeds!!!!!
Thanks Everyone!

This is due to the present value of a growing perpetuity formula being an infinite geometric series as explained in one of the following sections.

My geometric mean for the last 8 years is currently 20.7%.

Next domino needs to be 1.5x bigger than last to keep geometric progress.

The major differences are the pricing is primarily based on the net income and the lending is a bit harder, think more down payment, slightly higher interest but you get economies of scale and if you add value you'll get rewarded by increasing the value of the property geometrically.

And while the amazing architecture of ONE, OSE, and Kenwood has a lasting appeal, I do worry about rents and vacancies once all of the cranes come down and inventory geometrically increases near downtown.A 1031 exchange would let you and your brother separate. 

Admittedly we only use porcelain as we found the 49cent ceramic tile from HD or Lowes is fragile & rarely geometrically consistent.

I provided a geometric drawing of the lot and surrounding lots to provide a visual.

Echoing the geometric axiom "The whole is equal to the sum of it's parts", I learned a long time ago to employ it when it comes to analyzing and striking a deal with the following advice: Never agree to a defined piece of an undefined whole.In the current case, this means don't agree to the terms and conditions of a hard money loan (or any critical variable of an investment) without fully understanding the cause and effect of all critical deal points and variables.
