What This Means

A sample property priced at $385,000 with $2,850/month rent has a equity from appreciation (year 1-5) of $11,550 | $23,447 | $35,700 | $48,321 | $61,321. Appreciation is often the largest wealth builder in real estate. Even modest 3% annual appreciation creates substantial equity gains, especially when amplified by leverage.
