Investors Terms:
1) GRM(Gross Rent Multiplier) Sales Price divided by/ Annual Gross Rents

2)
Cap (Capitalization Rate). Return based on a cash purchase. Net            
      Income/Sales Price

3)
ROI or C/C: Return on Investment or Cash-on-Cash return. Net Income  
     (after paying all expenses including mortgage) divided by Initial                
     Investment (Down payment + closing costs).

4)
IRR: (Internal Rate of Return). Overall return on Investment over the          
     period of ownership. Figures out the overall profit, including all                 
     annual cashflow (positive or negative) and after sales profits. This          
     method is the best way to figure your return, but it is the most difficult      
     to calculate because you must plug in many assumption which after      
     extremely hard to predict, if not impossible.
1) Appreciation: Properties typically do up in
value.
2) Cash Flow: The money left over after all the
expenses are paid.
3) Equity Build-up: Loan principal reduces over
term of loan.
4) Tax Advantages: Properties can be
depreciated (write offs).
When rates are low are purchasing power increases and when rates increase purchasing power decreases.
Ex. If  rates increased from 6% to 7% one would lose almost
$25,000.00 worth the purchasing power, based on a 30 year $250,000.00 loan. What this means is that, for the same payment you buy
$25,000.00 less when interest rates go up one percent.
FYI For Your Information (the power of compounding interest)
Here are some interesting questions pertaining to
time-value of month and the power of compounding
interest.
#1)  If you invested $500 per month, at 12% return, in 30
       yrs what would it be worth? Answer
#2)  What if you invested $20,000 (lump sum), and           
       received 15% (annually, but compounded monthly),
       what would it be worth in 30 years (360 months)?
This question pertains to the above example: Entitled:
Understanding the advantages of low interest rates.
#3)  What is the difference in purchasing power in    
#4)  getting a 7% interest rate vs. a 6%?
#5)   What about an 8% interest rate?
