I have a question related to one of the 2 investment properties left in our portfolio....here are what I would consider the relevant background details:- We are a family of 6 (me-46, husband-55, 4 tween/young teens) and we lost everything in 2008-10 including all we had for our retirement plans- We currently own 2 4-plexes; 13 yrs left on mortgages; very minimal cash flow now, but no out of pocket expenses either - Our plan has been to keep those 2 4-plexes knowing than when mortgages are paid off, the cash flow will at least keep us out of working at Walmart as senior citizens!

It used to be a big deal when interest rates where in the teens (up to 18%, look it up!)

I recently saw some Class A MF in the teens on cap rate. 

I like to see at least $150/unit/month and a CoC ROI in the mid-teens or better.

Happy New Year and decade, fellow pocket mates. ( depending on whether you think this is the first or last year of a decade) the first time in twenty years we can refer to the decade clearly rather than tiptoeing around the zeros or 2010s or teens other things!

It brought it down to a level that teens, near teens can understand.Also your brokerage firm may have a website or information for kids. 

Im noticing more adults and teens drawing on things  I think due to entitlement era and over poisoning via vaccines makes them turn mental and crave colorful stimuli via tactile methods. 

So they are either levered 4x which is risky in its own regard or these businesses are paying high teen rates which is a reflection on the business risk.There is certainly a time and place for it but again it’s a far stretch from a CD.

Now I have two teens in my life.

A reasonable return in a passive investor's funds in today's marketplace is an 8% annualized return plus a share of profits that could bump up the annualized return to the high teens/low 20s.
