Many of them have been returning significant sums.

Tyler, if you want to send me over your email, I will put into my 30 yr proforma and calculate the PITI and show your returns. 

Unlike Robert K and many on this site, I judge a property based on total return.  

The biggest challenge continues to be affordability, as mortgage rates remain high and inventory remains tight in many regions.The 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.64%, which has kept mortgage rates elevated, currently hovering in the 6.5% to 7% range.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsYep - npl space right now pricing is high and thus returns have shrunk just like every other asset class.

If I have highly leveraged properties, as long as they cash flow, the bank takes the risk with me. 

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.

Quote from @JD Martin: My long term rentals may be boring but they've made fantastic returns.

If the trust gifts you the property, it retains the original cost basis, potentially leading to high capital gains taxes upon sale.

This prevents the foreclosure from damaging their credit for years, but also does not return equity.The homeowner may consider selling the house on the MLS or FSBO.
