Manhattan property has held up well through the crisis and beyond.

How much will you earn? Studio apartments will earn relatively more than one-bedroom apartments (in terms of return-on-investment), and those in turn will earn relatively more than two-bedroom houses, etcetera. To earn higher returns, buy smaller units.

• a studio apartment can rent for around $2,700 per month, earning a rental yield of around 7%
• a 1-bedroom apartment can rent for around $3,500 per month, earning a rental yield of around 4.4%
• Larger units earn proportionately lower returns. A 3-bedroom apartment is likely to earn a rental yield of around 2.4%
