It doesn't matter that I paid (insert inflated number here) to help her. 

Considering 3 options:1) Turn around and put the duplex on the market for 100k (we got a good deal on it - and the Denver market is inflated.

And at the time time I would find someone with some cash (either personal savings or retirement funds) sitting in money market account losing to inflation and offer them 6-8% return to lend to me secured by real estate.

Inflation took me for a run around.

It may be a sellers' market, but in my opinion, the property values are a little inflated and you are starting to see some small price adjustments. 

The best metric I know of for determining overall job quality for an area is inflation adjusted per-capita income.

it's nearly impossible to analyze any $6,000 deal...your numbers are going to be way inflated....that's why your CoC is 400%...and capitalizing any property with less than 5 units is really foolish..not sure why BP has this in their calculator...anyway, if your income is correct, this is ridiculous for cash flow, but an ARV of $25,000?...

When the rent appreciates faster than inflation, the cash flow increases. 

I just want great cash flow and if it appreciates more than inflation great if it only appreciates with America that’s cool too.

You will be locked in at a much lower fixed rate and you'll knock out that debt using cheaper dollars over time as inflation erodes the value of our currency.
