I’m looking for 10% return benchmarks.

Decreased global demand for oil, benchmark interest rate drop, mortgage applications are down for 3+ weeks, freight trucking is way down, gold is up, the stock market is up and down (a lot of emotion there) but I think we are in for a drop, bonds are sliding, quantitative easing will ramp up again.

I figure maybe between $8K to $10K a month when all is said and done.My PM teams have really been a blessing as they vet tenants with great benchmarks to find the best, as well as property inspections, and keeping me informed.I just got an e-mail the other day from my PM in Alabama telling me that they went to our property for its inspection and found it in great shape and commented that this tenant takes really special care of the house and the tenant told the PM while he was there that they would love to stay there for many more years (they will be resigning for their 4th straight lease.) 

Make this your benchmark when you search for new markets if your goal is to be a cash-flow investor.2. 

But I view this as a business, and as such there are many other benchmarks that I use to translate the level of success.

I have been reading for about 2 month already articles and forums on BP and a lot of people says that the market is on the peak of the cycle.Since capitalist economy is cyclical and there is a recession every 8 to 10 years and last recession was on 2008, we already past this bench mark. 

If you are looking for benchmarks for minimums, search these forums as there is tons of info on this.

In the 5+ space, I use the Freddie small balance program as a basic benchmark for pricing and structure.
