Icing on the cake if you get it!

Hello I have been looking to network and learn about real estate investing and I am so glad I came across BP! My experince is very limited (purchased a townhome and is renting it out) and would love to find more op...

Why is there only 1 candle on the cake and not 9?

As far as 'appreciation', I think of that as icing on the cake ( I plan to hold mine at least 15-20 years)Dan Dietz

I'm not seeking to get any money from him with regard to rent, however he has occupied the apartment with no "management" responsibilities and has not paid any rent for over a month and a half now...just adds some icing to the cake.

Yes, it sounds like a double standard, but it's really just about protecting my (and my client's) interests -- I like to have my cake and eat it too

We realize that real estate is no cake job, but we need a change in scenery.

Thanks for the warm welcome @Ned Carey (don't know if I got the @ right).I am familiar with the Baltimore area, as I used to live in White Marsh, Maryland, and worked in Towson =) GREAT food in Maryland....mmmm, Crab Cakes.

If in 2 years you find that your value has appreciated 10%, then that's icing on the cake.
