How are your investments doing?

The numbers I posted are average annual rate of return. It beats the S&P by a bit. If I calculated it right I think, discounting my contributions, my 5 year actual increase is around 93%. So just short of double.

93% over five years is 14.05%, pretty much where @CloverKnollFarms is.

Most venture funds fail to hit those numbers...

All the best, Peter

Your numbers are cumulative.
His numbers were yearly

That's not how that works. 3yr and 5yr numbers are always reported cumulative.

I'm also in the residential rental business, but in Europe. When you say taxes, do you mean just the property taxes, or are you including the associated income tax you'll need to pay too?
Because that's a very surprising amount of tax.
I calculate 2 month rental income for my insurance, local property tax, and maintenance expenses (I'm competent at minimising the later).
Income tax is another thing.

Property tax takes a ever bigger bite with some hefty increases but new rent control laws limit recovery.

A home rents for 3k a month with property tax now 21k… 7 months rent to cover property tax plus another for insurance .
