Not only does the appraised value get multiplied by 6% rather than 4%, but the millage rate is significantly higher as well for investment properties.

So to calculate the rent to home value such that I can apply the 1% and 2% investment rules of thumb, I multiply by 12 and then invert.  

To do this, take the purchase price and multiply by 11.5%, that will get you close to assessed value.

@Joshua D.Josh: Come up with a number you want to live on in terms of cash flow then multiply it by 1.2 times. 

Now in 2013, we want to multiply our reach and really looking to expand our business big time.

Others value parks per space so 33 * 15k (or other multiplier, could be anywhere from $10-20k) = $495,000. 

I ask because IMO dressers are by far the hardest thing to shop for that checks all the boxes (quality slides, deep drawers, looks nice) without breaking the bank, which multiplied by several bedrooms can really add up. 

But, take the next year to evaluate properties, save more money, get that tax statement ready and get your banker ready for the avalanche your going to unleash on the market.

As you suspected, I've leveraged the agent pairing function for a number of realtors; just looking to force multiply here.

Your returns on market appreciation are MULTIPLIED because you are buying the investment with leverage (a loan)!
