The market has rebounded so at this point in the RE cycle the numbers aren't that attractive overall.That said, the 1% and 2% rules are basically rough estimates of cap rate. a 2% property is going to mean a +/- 10 cap and a 1% probably about a 7. 10 caps are going to be tough to come by, even during bad times.

A preferable safer stock yield investment is 5%.Stock market is not a gamble for those who understand how the economy works.If the market crash, it's the best time to buy an index because when it rebounds, it rebound so fast that's faster than real estate appreciation.Truth is you have to invest at vehicle that you understand.

For example, the lowest rate for 30YFRM I've seen is 5.25-5.5 , so lets say the monthly payment is $560 for a loan of 100k.Now the highest CD/MM/saving is approaching 5%, for 100k CD I could make $5,000.So I could pay 70%-80% of the yearly mortgage "for free" by investing at CD.Now if home market is rebound, actually my money appreciation would be doubled as equity building is moving up without actual cost from me :)I dont remember if I can do something like this during low-interest rate era.
