As an accountant I can advise you to calculate ROI (return on investment) and ideally it should yield you minimum of 6% to 8%. In case if its less than that then you need to review in detail for many factors.

Dear, do you mean annual ROI?
2000 K investment, 15 K x 12 = 180 K per annuam = 9% ROI.
Please confirm

9% is a good return. Moreover you will growth in your investment as well with the passage of time, inshallah tala.
