I think pulling the money out and investing it is a great idea, especially with rates so low right now.Double digit cap rates are common in some areas...will get you double-digit yields absent appreciation or leverage.

It is completely ineffective unless you are selling useless digital products (like e-books).

I agree Peter and tehrefore go for the double digit cap rates as I prefer the upsides.

It's just semantics.Plus when you see a GRM around 50-200 it's definitely monthly because annual GRM's around in the single digits to low twenties usually deending in area.Plus on residential appraisals for properties appraisers use monthly GRM too but like i mentioned above I have my own reasons I use monthly.

The returns are low single digits.  

Appreciation marginally above the inflation rate and inflation in the low single digits.

Price has gone up at double digits rate for the past a few years in Seattle and who knows how long this bull market is going to last.
