The folks over at HomeUnion recently analyzed just how far a $100k down payment (25%) would go in the most sought-after investment housing markets. Their new report analyzed what $400k would buy in Jacksonville, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte and Austin. Then they compared their findings with what can be purchased for the same price in Denver, Washington, D.C., Seattle, New York and Oakland. A good example was Jacksonville, Florida where investors who leveraged a $400k investment in rental properties get twice as much space, and collected 1.5 times the rent as those buying a similarly priced condo in New York City.
