If rates decline later in 2025, refinancing opportunities could further improve returns on investment properties.Guidance for InvestorsFor investors, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for rental property acquisitions.

For example 3 years ago it was maximizing returns and today it is about preservation of capital.

Deals like this do exist out there.In a previous post, I put a graphic of my returns, and you accused me of using data for single family returns.

It can easily take 6+ months to find a motivated seller. - Just be prepared, because a motivated seller typically has a property with issues you need to be sure you can solve.

Buyer may elect to treat this Contract as canceled, in which case all Earnest Money received hereunder will be returned to Buyer and Buyer may recover such damages as may be proper.

In any case, I thing your investment are pretty solid and should earn you something between a decent return all the way to a spectacular return depending on the local economic situation.  

Within 5-10 years you should have been able to pull out your entire investment tax free and earn an infinite return.
