The Top and Bottom Rental Markets

Print Friendly

RealtyTrac®, the leading online marketplace of foreclosure properties, has compiled a map for rental property investors showing which properties are hot — and which are not.

The unique report looks at a property’s potential to generate income, not only monthly cash-flow, but also longer term appreciation. The metric identifies a market’s Annual Gross Yield by melding median home prices with average rental rates.

You can see the full report here.

According to the report, the top market for Annual Gross Yield was Detroit. Other top cities include Atlanta, Kansas City, (Kansas and Missouri),  Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Saginaw, Michigan, and Syracuse, New York.

The lowest yields come from Long Beach, California. Bozeman and Helena, Montana fell along the bottom tier, along with D.C., Nashville, San Francisco, and Durango, Colorado.

RealtyTrac has been chosen to supply foreclosure data and services to Trulia, Zip Realty, RE/MAX International, Prudential Real Estate, Keller Williams Realty, Long & Foster, Weichert Realtors, Realty Executives, Exit Realty, and many other specialized real estate and local news websites.
