It's still a good market for long term rentals but the returns are not what they were 10 years ago - but if you can get past overly optimistic suggested ROI, it's a really solid market.

As mentioned, it is virtually daily that there are posts that seem unlikely to have any path to a return that warrants holding the RE.i wish everyone be thorough and cautious in their underwriting.  

Strong rental performance & return Lessons learned?

its funny how this changes with time and the market on BP  if you asked this question 5 to 7 years ago you get drowned out with the cash flow is the ONLY thing and appreciation is for gamblers my self I have always been about making appreciation games in RE.. by either value add building a new product or buying foreclosure and flipping or lending money and getting instant 12% plus returns .

I don't think RE returns are going to touch that.
