With real estate, assuming that property values have gone up on average 4-5% a year..... rents-costs, and tax benefits of depreciation on the house +appliances, deductible on interest payment ect. you can make 20-40% a year on your original downpayment per house. So if you bought rental houses...

Ok well so far I have tweaked a few things to reduce slippage as much as I can . The best way I have found to accomplish this is enter long only and enter with limit orders. By entering with limits and sacrificing missing some long entries but thats ok. The benefit of knowing this should...

I'm talking in regards to slippage.... reverse orders vs just plain old stop orders, any advantage or disadvantage? Dissaster stops would be present. But thank you for your input. I'm wondering if I'm better off with a long only approach or a long short approach in regard to slippage. If I am...
