Compare Everything With Everything
A young lady sat down for the consultation. She had a high-paying job and in addition to her own condo owned 3 homes each valued at approximately $1m each. After all her expenses, last year she cleared about $6,000. She wanted to know if she was doing well. Her total cash outlays for downpayment and initial rent-ready repairs was $400,000. This means her cash-on-cash return was about 1.5%. She could have doubled her return with zero effort simply by investing in US treasury notes. Or perhaps done even better with an indexed stock fund.
You should not ignore the value of appreciation, but it is not guaranteed. You also should include the tax benefits from depreciation and other business-related expenses. A further source of return would be any return on funds held in reserve for the properties. Even with all these considerations, there may still be better opportunities for her.
Don't just compare this years' returns with last year. Compare them with other options. Your returns should be evaluated in light of everything else you could be doing with your money - and your time.
