$2400/$20,000 cash invested is a 12% cash on cash return annually- which may be acceptable, but it ignores the appreciation.If you sell the house at the end of year 1 (ignore transaction costs just for illustration) for $102K - up just 2%, that's $2000 of additional capital gains which boosts your total IRR by 10% up to 22% ($4400/20000 invested).

Real income for the bottom 90% has been stagnant for forty years, and has declined since 1999.he only way to keep consumption rising when incomes are stagnant is to boost the borrowing power (i.e. collateral and creditworthiness) of households by inflating asset bubbles that create temporary (i.e. phantom) collateral and by lowering interest rates so the stagnant income can support more debt.This is why the Federal Reserve and the other agencies of the Central State have been reduced to blowing serial assets bubbles: there is no other way to keep a consumption-based economy from imploding.But "prosperity" based on serial asset bubbles and near-zero interest rates is neither real nor sustainable: real prosperity is based on rising real incomes, not debt leveraged on phantom collateral.Read More

Long term cheap financing is key, and today's rates are still pretty good.The vacation rental market can also be a great way to boost returns (1% is achievable), but you'll hiave higher costs since you'll be suplpying furniture, silverware, etc.I'm pretty heavily invested here and looking for out of state rentals as well, but the risk hasn't really justified the returns yet.
