Zack childress-With rents climbing and rentals in high demand, investors are being lured to investment properties, taking advantage of low housing prices and interest rates.
Nearly 20 percent of home purchases in May were for investment purposes – that´s up from 17 percent in 2010, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
CNNMoney recently ranked cities by its estimated future investment returns. “Overall, the highest ratings are in markets where home prices have fallen substantially,” says Ingo Winzer, founder of Local Market Monitor. “Home prices in these markets are also below average, so empty homes are easily turned into competitive rental properties.”
Here are the top 5 markets in terms of investment return:

Average home price (2011): $130,100
