Good Article on Valuing Rental Properties

We just came across a good article on popular methods used to conduct equity evaluation on investment properties. The piece was written by Arthur Pinkasovitch of Investodepia and was published on the San Francisco Chronicle's web site on April, 28 2011. Mr. Pinkasovitch discusses how investing in real estate is similar to investing in equities as investors attempt to place value on units while making educated assumptions on how the investments may perform down the road. Rather than rehash the entire article, just go directly to the source.
