The Best Real Estate Investment Markets Last Year

[Scott Trench]

Hey everyone - we thought that we'd go ahead and let you all know that we put together a  to see which markets offered the best chance for regular Joe investors to get great returns over the last year or so:

We look at 0-4 unit residential properties (if you can buy a home in a given market for yourself, you can generally also purchase these types of properties) and measure them for two things:

Gross Rents as a percentage of property values in early 2014

Appreciation as a percentage of property values in early 2014

Combining the two, you can see where investor dollars likely went the farthest (before expenses). We hope that this will be useful to you as a starting point in market research!

Feel free to reach out to me or ask any questions about the study here in this thread or under the post itself!

to find out what the best and worst markets were.
