    Hi Wannabe

    Well it’s hard to calculate, as there are many varying factors as Steve points out in his book.
    Interest rates
    Water/council rates
    Insurance
    Management fees etc etc

    The only advice I can give is don’t be afraid of large numbers, just work them as you would with small numbers, there is no difference however for some reason some people panic with large numbers.

    If you bought Steves book, u would have received his calculator for working out deals in excel?

    Maybe consider doing the calculation on one unit and multiply that by 16 as a guide or consider a partnership.

    As long as the figures add up don’t be scared. Do you have an accountant you could contact?

    Many professionals out there willing to help at a fee of course.

    I hope at least some of this helps?

    Sorry I could not offer more help!

    Regards Bear
