Volcker’s strategy involved letting interest rates rise in 1980-81 to levels unparalleled, then or since, and to become strongly positive in real terms.

I'm looking for a blended return with all my investments of around of around 20%.

However, if you are looking to blend cash flow and appreciation, then the Dundalk area (and especially the Elton area) may not be the best place to tied up your capital.  

So a starting low cap of 4 and healthy increases gives them a blended cap rate of 5.5 to 6% over time.As a seller or a developer I would also think to myself to sell to these buyers for a premium.

Assuming Will operates out of an S-Corp (he's a smart guy so I'm positive he's doing this) and nets $350k, by deducting his lease payment he avoids 15.3% self-employment tax, a 1.5% CA franchise tax on net income, a blended CA income tax rate of 7.98% and a blended federal rate of 26.1% for a total of 50.88%.
