I like to use the S&P 500 Index.

Lately I’ve had to try to convince sellers and brokers of investment real estate that because the market has dramatically increased on the 1 year t-bill, i.e. a risk free investment, then the return required to invest in real estate, i.e. a riskier investment, has increased. Of course, the sellers are reluctant to acknowledge this change. Do any of you use a formula, say 100% or 200% above the t-bill as a minimum return? I’d love to hear some thoughts on this subject.

I compare the return with the current yield of the money market account or the return on the AAA corporate bond. If it is less than these then there is no need to take the risk.
