1% rule still relevant?
Is the "1% rule" still relevant in the current interest rate environment? It seems to me that interest rates are so low now that more properties can be considered investment grade. The mortgage cost would be low enough to still generate positive cash flow well below the 1% threshold. Should a new rule of thumb be utilized to evaluate properties?
