We sold it after 3 years as the appreciation was so significant, it would have been foolish to hold it longer and roll the dice.  

This is a property has been in the family a long time and I'll be holding onto long term as it turns a good profit.

Most 1-4 unit real estate investors are using DSCR loans right now for any buy and holds while flippers lean on higher leverage bridge/fix and flip loan options with higher interest rates.

Our city holds a lot of gems if you know where to find them.

Newer construction code requires better earthquake-proofing, but it's still aimed at preventing a building collapse rather than holding the value of the structure.About 15 years ago there was all the talk about "100 year homes" but I haven't seen much come of that.

If you’re using leverage, be extra cautious with your underwriting to ensure the deal still works at today’s rates.Economic Uncertainty: Inflation, potential recessions, or shifts in demand could affect rents, vacancy rates, and property values in some markets.Increased Operating Costs: Rising insurance premiums, property taxes, and maintenance costs can cut into profit margins, particularly for buy-and-hold investments.Regulatory Risks: Some areas are increasing restrictions on landlords, particularly short-term rentals.

That's a great place to start, we have over 1000 local members and hold about 20 meet ups a month.

And they execute their investment strategy/model (develop, resell, hold, etc.) effectively to generate a return and/or equity and make a living.

@Roman Balmakov If you are planning on holding the property long term and have enough reserves to cover even worst case scenarios it could still be worth it.
