What is a realistic return of your investment?

[Clint McLaughlin]

Getting a good return or your investment is everyone's goal.  The big question is, what is a good return? Some people will only consider 20% as a good return for their purchases.  When the market is good of course 20% is the goal.  Here is something to consider.  The difference between 20% and 15% on a $100,000 investment is only $320 a month.  That definitely is a lot of money, but that being said, waiting several months to find the perfect deal is costing you money.  Not every deal is a home run.  If your money is sitting in a bank only earning 2%, it might be time to think long term and go for something that is tangible.
