Dr Democracy How best to invest a lump sum of cash

However, I'm finding a number of properties that seem like they would net me so much more than the "$100 per unit" after the 50% rule that is so often discussed in these forums, that I can only assume I must be missing something.For example, take this Sacramento Duplex:Price: $50,000Monthly Rent: $1,600Expenses (assuming 50% rule): 800Mortgage (assuming 20% down, 30yr @ 7%): $266Profit: $534 (or 267/unit)Or this San Bernardino 4-plex (each unit is 3/2):Price: $100,000Monthly Rent: $3200Expenses: $1,600Mortgage (same assumptions): $532Profit: $1,068 ($534/unit)Coincidentally, these properties give the exact same ROI.Now, I'm certainly not suggesting these properties are everywhere, but I normally find a few new listings like this each month (most last about that long before they're taken down - I assume because someone snatched it up).However, assuming I'm patient and assuming the properties I'm finding with comparable numbers pass inspection, with a 60k investment, I'd be looking at about $38,400 in profit per year, or a 64% pre-tax return on my investment.Common sense tells me I must be missing something, but even with pessimistic projections I can't see what it is.
