Probably not helpful here, but will throw it in anyway. Back in my working days I became acquainted with a small building construction/ real estate owner outfit. Father & 2 sons operation. Beside doing construction, they owned a mix of residential, commercial, & farm land. Not a hard rule, but a starting point. This was in southern Mn, close to Paul, Flying Belgian, & Kow Farmer. The old man said rent income should be 1% of cost monthly. That would pay for the investment, real estate taxes, insurance, upkeep, & a reasonable profit. Eg: a $500,000 commercial building should bring $5,000 rent monthly. Single family residential they wanted 3/4 of 1%. Farm land was split rate. Tillable land brought 1/2 of 1%, while a building site brought 3/4 of 1%. Tillable land was taxed at a lower rate than building sites, & didn't have structures to insure. A 500 acre farm with 5 acres of buildings would be 495 acres at 1/2%, while the 5 acres with house, barns, sheds etc brought 3/4%. Being in the construction business, they had a close tab on their costs. Times have changed somewhat, interest rates are a lot lower now. Also farm land prices & building construction costs are higher now. Willie
