Appreciation vs Cash Flow

Matt Lane
Posted

I’m finding 7.5% rates on the properties I’m looking at purchasing. That pretty much wipes out cash flow. 

When do you choose appreciation over cash flow?

Specifically, buying properties in college towns and renting out to students

You never rely on appreciation.  Cash flow is king, appreciation is a bonus.
