For interest sake, I ran a cash flow analysis on a range of property prices and Rent-to-Price ratios. I wanted to see why some investors indiscriminately shoot for 2% or 1% and how that translates to cash flow for a given property price. I thought I'd share these results with the BP community and hopefully shed some light as to when 1% or 2% Rules make sense. 


I noticed that the purchase price only goes up to $190k. I feel bad asking this but as the table is so expertly created, would you be able to extend the table to go from $350k to $750k (typical purchase price range in San Diego)?

Scenario: 
I own a 25% stake in a property in the UK. 
It is not rented. 
It is only used for family use. 
I live in California. 

Question: 
Am I liable for any taxes either in the US?

@Ian Walsh Do you not think that a national average is a dangerous metric? I am from the UK and if you are investing in London (which is higher than anywhere else in the UK by a long way), you are going to be way off with your national average rule.

@Account Closed Nicely done. Mine is a 0.7% property cash flowing at $1667 and appreciated $100k in the last 2 years so maybe I'll be joining you in the "terrible investment" club!
