Monthly rent should be 2% of the purchase price of the home.

$2,000 monthly rent for a $100,000 home. It's tough to pull off in decent areas and typically you need to be in the lower end price range on houses to meet these marks. It's just a general rule of thumb.

I stay in the 1.5% range and look for bad homes in great areas. Banking on great tenants and eventual appreciation with a little cash flow.

You don't need the 2% rule to make killer CAshflow.

2% is virtually impossible in most large, desirable metropolitan areas. It's difficult to get 1.5% in New Orleans metro.
