When you talk about investment amounts is that only referring to cash down payments or equity down payments as well?

You have cash - on- cash return, , but there us also debt - reduction. When you pay your mortgage each month you have the principle going down . So there is that to consider.

Not to mention appreciation. In my local market, you're unlikely to cashflow on almost any property that isn't totally rundown. However, historically, you will have outperformed landlords nationally due to higher appreciation.

[@danielg1211]

Hi, Thanks for the video! One scenario: Lets say you have several properties, all refinanced to keep buying. And let´s say the market crashes and rent goes down, so down you can´t meet your payments. What can happen then? What´s the consequence of that? Because in the last crash -at least in Ireland- rent went down 25-30%. Thanks!

[@Kennan_Davis]

Mr Heldenberg that’s why you buy right so market crashes don’t affect your rentals at all. Good rentals are not bought at market value

[@Neptune_p_g]

What are we referring to by cash investment? Are we talking about the downpayment to purchase the property? Or the entire value of the loan?

[@David-fw4ly]

He's talking about the downpayment, which is the actual amount you are putting up. After you buy the property, for the most part you don't pay for the rest of the loan balance out of your pocket, the tenants pay the mortgage payment with the rent money. For example, if you bought a million dollar apartment complex, but only put $250K down payment, and made $25K/year from rent (after all expenses including the mortgage payment are taken into account), then your cash on cash return would be 10%. You don't put 1 million in the denominator because you never invested 1 million, you just invested 250K. Get it? This is different than the stock market, in that if you have 100K to invest in the stock market, you typically only buy 100K worth of stock. If you invested in real estate with 100K, you would typically put 100K down payment on a 500K property, which people refer to as leveraging your investment. The upside to leverage is that you obtain a million dollar income-producing rental property by only putting down a fraction of the money as a down payment. The downside to leverage is that you have a monthly mortgage payment, and there is a chance that if the tenants don't pay their rent and lets say the roof needs repair, you might not have enough money to pay the mortgage on your rental property and it could get foreclosed upon. As opposed to the stock market where peopley typically don't leverage their investments, like say you buy 100K worth of stock in Chipotle (or whatever), you don't have a monthly mortgage payment, and Chipotle is never going to call you to say that you have to fix the roof of one of their restaurants, so you don't have to worry about getting your stocks 'foreclosed' upon. Sure, the stocks may love some value, but you will never be called upon to pay out of your pocket for maintenance. Does this make sense?

[@treystills]

All cash you put into a deal ie downpayment + rehab+whatever = cash investment.
