That&#8217;s why people jump out of airplanes, line up for horror movies, watch the Vikings and fall in love.
It&#8217;s also what some new investors are looking for when they start hunting for their new duplex.
They want to score a big return; usually in the form of a property that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On real estate blogs across the nation new investors ask for guidance as to what is a &#8220;good&#8221; gross rent multiplier (GRM) on multi family property.
Remember, to determine a duplex&#8217;s gross rent multiplier, divide the purchase price of the property and by the gross amount of rent the property generates annually. So, if a building is listed at $200,000 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I say &#8220;rental housing&#8221;, what image springs to mind?
Is it a large apartment complex with hundreds of units sprawling over acres of earth?

With higher vacancy rates due to unemployment, the article suggested rents will continue falling for the next few months. 
After all, landlords are offering incentives and slashed rents just to fill vacant units. Therefore, the article stated, it might be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common things I hear new investors say is their goal is to buy a duplex, pay it off, and live off the cash flow.
This is a mistake.
What? Isn&#8217;t cash flow everything?
Of course.
But there&#8217;s also something called Return On Investment or ROI. ROI is the ratio of money gained or lost on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s turbulent real estate market, it&#8217;s easy to dismiss the idea of real estate as a long term investment strategy.
On one level, this makes sense. Prices are down; there&#8217;s a threat of more foreclosures on the horizon which may cause prices to tumble further. Vacancy rates are up, causing more landlords to scramble to find [...]]]></description>
