Holding a property for 20 years or more

Hi all. I am just wondering if anyone on this site has held a property for 20 years or more? If so, I'd love your general view on how the 20 years or more has been.

Why am I asking this question? Simple. I am just buying my 1st investment properties down in Raleigh, NC. My goal is too hold these properties for many, many years. However, I totally understand the transient nature of life. The opinions and conclusions a person has today can dramatically change from month to month and year to year.

So, I'd love to hear stories of people who have held onto their properties for long, long periods of time. And, I'd love to hear how they stayed the course through so many different time periods.

Looking forward to hearing some responses,

Thnx,

Dave
