Does that include the cost of your time as a landlord?

No. I thought about factoring in a property management at 10%, but thought about it after I already completed the spreadsheet.

And I don't necessarily know how to factor how much time it will take, assuming you don't use property management. Would seem to vary month to month.

this. I'm 100% invested in securities, but there's no question that there is more money to be made, and more tax benefits from real estate.

however, being a landlord isn't for everyone, myself included. Merrill Lynch won't be calling me at 1am to tell me that a pipe broke. I won't need to spend 3 months evicting a shitty holding.

for those that have the time to be a landlord, or the experience and connections to rehab properties, theres more money to be made in RE.
