@Chris Seveney thanks for your comments that helps me out. Curious on your comments on appreciation, price point makes a difference on appreciation?

@Mitch Messer thanks exactly what I was looking for.

Basically what I want to find out is a comparison of a real estate investment versus what returns I could get in another investment vehicle (like the stock market).  Please help me think through this hypothetical example.

If I have $100k to invest and choose the stock market on a normal year I should expect annually a 7% growth year over year so in 5 years that investment grows to $133,822.

If instead i take that $100K and purchase $400,000 worth of real estate on 4 identical properties with 25% down, cash flowing $250 per month each and appreciating at 3% per year what is my annualized rate of return after 5 years?  What are the relevant numbers to use in this equation? 

@Alex Olson Multifamily or single family is of interest to me. I need to learn what area I should be in and need to talk to someone about financing options to establish my budget.

I live in the Kansas City area and want to learn more about buying real estate as a buy and hold investment in the area. I don’t have the time or desire to rehab so looking for turnkey and using a property management company. Who should I be looking to connect with to learn more and see what opportunities are available?
