Make your own Opportunity! Can your investments bring you 6%? Think about this. You buy an up / down duplex for 330K. It grosses you $2,300.00 a month for five years or $138,000.00. And it has increased in value 3% per year, that’s about $10,000.00 per year for a total of $50,000.00. Even if you have used all the monthly rents to pay bills (there about 2000 a month) you now have a property worth $380,000.00 and assuming you put 20% down when you bought it you now have a positive equity of $149,000.00.
You better than double your money every 5 years.
