Assuming that the house comes with maintenance expenses of £2,000/year (and there are no equivalent costs for the Acme investment), answer each of the following. a) If rent for £200,000 houses is £500/month, and if the expected return on Acme is 6%/year, what rate of change in house prices must the investor be expecting? b) If rent for £200,000 houses is £750/month, and if the expected return on Acme is 6%/year, what rate of change in house prices must the investor be expecting?
