The 2% rule - how close do you stick?

[Nathan Shankles]

I bought my two investment properties about 8 years ago and at that time hadn’t heard of Th e 2% rule. When I recently learned of it, I went and did the math. Each of my properties falls between 1.3 and 1.6%. I’m wondering what seasoned rental property investors aim for when it comes to the 2% rule. Do you look for 2% or better? 1.5% or greater? Between 1 and 1.5%?
