Something along the lines of balancing the ying and yang of investing for cash flow and appreciation is probably ideal.There are 25 places that have home appreciation and negative cash flow while still having a CRET that beats inflation. 

@Howard Yang- Have you presented a bank with these reports?

Its like Andrew Yang was right

@Leon Yang get in here!

I enjoyed Leon Yang's podcast that he'd move to a new city and just go to town.

. : )Check out the podcast with Leon Yang, if you haven't already.

People just curious if your a sucker or not and willing to pay up the ying yang for their house lol.

It also means that the mortgage is still intact and the property is unlikely to have much equity.Remember, banks got TARP money, made profits up the yen-yang (ironically with lots of Chinese money) and these properties are just a pain to remediate on a large scale basis. 

@Leon Yang  This is a home that sits directly across the street from me that has been empty for about three years...owner had a heart attack while mowing the grass and moved into a condo...I think the income on a monthly basis is key...and if I were him, I would want a balloon at some point in the next 10-15yrs...any suggestions?

Thanks @Leon Yang @Dave Visaya @Jesse Waters for the warm welcome and advice.I am still learning how this forum features work. : )  What happen next if I press Connect to Follow or Send Colleague Request?
