A year ago building houses was my preferred strategy, then land tripled overnight.

Well you missed the double or triple over the last 4, 5 6 years in Cleveland, however I do not see things slowing down, there simply is no inventory .

Not sure what they would be on $2,000,000 in CA, but I wouldn't think all that different.Of course if you take the $1.5mil you get for it there and then spend the same here, you get one of the best houses in town, but the taxes are probably triple...or you buy a more modest house and two duplexes and let the cash flow from the duplexes pay the extra taxes.

@Curtis Davis last year I sold 1 property and used the $100k profit to purchase 14 units; rental roll for the entire portfolio was approximately $14 000 per month.I tripled my cash flow.

As far as appreciation, I'm 55 so 25 years is a long shot, but I'm confident it will probably triple in value in about 15 years or so.

My home tripled in value since I bought it in 1998.

Please give me advice on what type of options I have out there in order to purchase a duplex, triple, or a quadplex.

So very simplistically, a Starbucks with a 20 year triple net lease will trade at a 5 cap, for example, but the same exact real estate with a Mom and Pop coffee shop with a 3 year nnn lease might trade at an 8 cap.

You can usually at least double if not triple your investment over a 5 year period.

You need Yardi Appfolio or something with triple net CAM reconciliation, etc.
