[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - the whole premise of the question seems largely missed by most of the answers. Where’s the ROI from investing in real estate? I’m not insistent on buying a rental but clearly many do including several in my own neighborhood in ffx county. Based on the answers that doesn’t make sense to do. [/quote]

It could make sense if you can rent your property out for more than your carrying cost. Most mom and pop landlord's are renting out a home they used to live in (like, their one bedroom condo or smaller starter home). Investors who don't plan on living in the property want a profit ASAP. The thing is, even for the mom & pop landlord, it really depends on what their cash flow is on the property. I would bet in most cases, they would have been better off selling and putting money in the market.  [/quote]

This.  Rental properties are a management concern.  It's a part-time job, and you're dealing with obtaining and keeping tenants, getting rid of bad tenants, maintaining the property, dealing with rising costs like RE taxes, and having no easy way to get out quickly if you need to.  [/quote]
