A A — the S&P 500 would need 17–21% a year, every year for a decade, to tie.

Engine scenarios

Conservative leads — base and optimistic are the accompanying range, never the headline. Margin is vs. investing the same money in the S&P 500.

Why it made the board

Four flats at $1,549,000, 0.19 mi from 24th St Mission BART. You live in one and the other three pay $9,378/mo at our cautious rents, roughly $112,500 a year against a $1.55M basis. The S&P would need 20.3% a year for a decade to keep up, and the seller has already cut $46,000 off the ask.
