It is amazing to me to look at a spreadsheet of potential returns from apartment investing. The amazement comes from the apparent simplicity.

The spreadsheets are not actually simple in nature. They are not easy to setup. The variables that go into them are not that easy to figure out either.

So, what is so amazing about it?

I remain, years later, amazed by the growth in values with little changes in income and expenses. It is beyond me that if I can focus on just a few simple items that wealth is exponential.

I had an example in my presentation of the fast way to wealth. This was contrasted by a millionaire apartment owner that did it the SLOW way. Since there is interest, I will post it here. Look for the story in another post.
