Goal is to make real estate main source of income and sights are on best cash returns while building a portfolio.  

Here goes from memory without pulling up a spreadsheet I keep on my computer.

Affordability is tough here, and I feel like I'm in a push/pull between cash on cash return and long term ROI (including appreciation).

The trick is giving it context and memory so it’s not guessing.Instead of “chatbot fluff,” I’ve been testing setups where AI pulls straight from the actual lease (+ broader knowledge base) and remembers past interactions.

Now that being said, I hold most investments so I also like to monitor return on equity which is not a common metric talked about enough.

The key is to clearly document investor returns as performance-based debt, not equity, and to secure their position with a lien or deed of trust if possible.

I am seeing returns lower.

In theory, a software like turbotax can do a tax return so long as you get the correct version.The more complicated your return, the higher version of the software that you need.I think turbotax is great if you have a simple tax return.I.E.

If you want to persist with TurboTax, report your share of the property flip income and expenses on Schedule C and use TurboTax Home and Business to complete your federal and state returns.  

For those who have experience—what made you choose notes, and how did the returns compare?
