Realistic Returns in Rental Properties

[John Matthews]

Hi All,

So I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this, but I'm trying to determine which investment strategy makes the most sense from an ROI standpoint, notes vs buy and hold, so I made a spreadsheet to determine theoretical returns and I wanted to verify it against real world data.

Question: What are people seeing as far as returns before taxes (benefits) on their rental properties?

Specifially post, 1) where you're investing 2) cashflow % and 3) total IRR of the whole investment (including principal paydown/equity growth)

Thanks!
