Very interesting post. I read the article and checked some of the math, which seems to look actually very good. Anyone with experience in rental properties that can vouch for the assumptions made? The poster assumed 5% rental rate (I think that is 5% of the value of the property=yearly rent). He also assumed 25% of the rent goes to expenses (aside from mortgage), is this reasonable?
