High Investment Returns Blossom In Today's Market

Profits of 10% to 15% are becoming commonplace in today's investment rental market. Investors are gobbling up properties in the sub $100,000 market as fast as they can, putting them in a position to capitalize on fair market rents that command very lucrative returns.

Consider the following: Investment rental home purchased for $85,000 (In Arizona); fair market rent on rental home = $850 per month or $10,200 per year; total 12 month return on investment property = 12%. How many investments do you know of that are paying that kind of return? There are also tax benefits that come with rental properties like depreciation that can keep more of your profits out of the hands of Uncle Sam. And by the way, the cherry on the cake is the future appreciation of the property that could easily double in value during the next appreciation cycle. The name of the game has always been to buy low and sell high, but investors are riding out this correction period with decent returns from the rents their properties are bringing in.
