	I have 3 apartment buildings and I would like to know how to
calculate my
	annual return on investment.  Could someone give me a formula to use
or some
	guidance.  


	Thanks

Jackie, here are a few Websites that might be of help to you:

First, try:  http://cses.com/rental/analysis.htm
This gives you a good overview.  Then click on "Financial Analyses" near the
bottom of that page to get an annual return on investment example.  In
general, you may want to bookmark http://cses.com/rental/buying.htm as there
is a lot of good landlord material here.

If you're looking for automated assistance, check: http://www.realdata.com/
as they have good analysis software (it is nothing you can't do yourself
with a spreadsheet, but they've done all the work in advance and tested it
and it is reasonably priced.

You might also check out:  http://www.rentalprop.com/ as a source of
additional information.

Good luck, if you hear of any other good sources for similar types of
material, please let me know!
