Yeah 7-8% if value is well below stock returns and they require zero involvement.

Most investing in real estate are also in the market. I like it as a diversification. I also remember the returns we were getting in the early 90s. I have more money in the market than real estate, but like to be in both.

8% likely doesn’t include appreciation. It also matters how much work you are doing, if you are simply collecting a check and still able to get some appreciation I don’t think it’s terrible.

But with insurance companies requiring roof replacements more often and what not, you also gotta realize that some maintenance costs have really increased so people need to keep that in mind.

Ah ok. This changes things. Not too bad then.


If you have a good property that’s easy to maintain and can attract good tenants, being a landlord is very little work. I do less than 15 mins of work on avg a month for most of mine. Maybe 6-10 hours a year on avg.

Now again, that’s with good properties and good tenants in high demand areas. But hell any rental home should be high demand now it just depends on price really.
