Are you willing to invest in RE appreciation with 2 caveats?

[Matthew McNeil]

The context being today's market.

Assumption: the new asset would be in addition to your existing positive cash flowing portfolio.

Requirement: the new asset’s cashflow cannot be negative.  It must at least break even at zero - meaning the property is paying for its own expenses leaving you with zero cash flow/profits. 

Premise: future payout makes it worthwhile to forego current positive cashflow.
