Many real estate investors are involved in multiple properties and use leverage in their purchases. When deciding on the viability of an investment, one of the measures used is the expected Return on Equity in the first year.

One of the big questions to resolve is whether you have financial dreams or financial goals. While they may sound like the same thing, they’re not.
