With all the stories of people making tremendous amounts of money in real estate it's no wonder why so many are looking at real estate as an investment vehicle.

If you want to find good places for bargains, take a look at local newspapers, courthouses and real estate investor websites that will enlist all types of properties.

The first step is to look at the relationship between prices, rents, and interest rates. Take the rent and multiply it times 12.This will give you your annual rental income.Then take this income and divide it by purchase price.This will be your property's annual yield. Now compare this yield to the interest rate that you are likely to get on financing; the yield should be substantially higher than the interest rate(your simple yield calculation ignores vacancy, maintenance, and fluctuation of rent over time).
