As the Southern California market continues to improve, many have asked us about investment properties in the area. Today, we update you on what's going on in the investment market and how you can take advantage of it.
I've recently helped a lot of past clients purchase investment properties in various neighborhoods. The sweet spot for investment properties appears to be in the $150,000-$400,000 range. When you start getting above the $400K mark, the rents are not high enough to compensate for expenses and you end up breaking even or going into the red.
If you stay in the sweet spot, many times, with 25% down, we're seeing a 7%-10% return on investment before depreciation. If you take into account the benefits of depreciating your property, your returns can reach as high as 12%, which is a lot better than earning 1% or less by letting your money sit at the bank.
In fact, some of my clients who bought recently and locked down interest rates at 4% or less, with the strong rental income they are receiving, reduced their 30-year loan term down to 12-15 years!
