500k to make 24k return a year? That's a lot of headache for that poor of a return.

500k at 8% return is 40k and all you need to do is rebalance your portfolio a couple times a year.

If I was going to put that size investment into anything, I would want a ROI significantly larger than the market. Depending on the risks associated with the investment or business I would want a 16-20% return to put up with the hassle.

Is 2k a month the total ROI or just the net cash flow monthly ?


Well said. This is something more potential real estate investors need to consider .. the fact that they're tying that much money up into something that has a lower ROI than other investments. I'm with you, if I've got 500k I'm not using that to make 20k.

I don't believe this was ever answered, but it seems like the OP was calling the $2k net cash flow/mo.

That's how I read it.

That would be $54k/year in gross income on a $100k down payment. The mortgage would be covered leaving $2k/mo after all expenses. That doesn't sounds bad to me.

I forget if it was a quad or larger, if it was a 5 plex, it would fall under different(higher) tax treatment I believe.
