Lots of folks are pulling out cash based on the appraised value for their next projects and holding for a few years to benefit from appreciation. 

My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.

This gives you flexibility and a clearer understanding of how you’ll proceed based on market changes.

If the answer to the last question is yes, I think it'll be a hard choice.I see a reasonable appreciation rate for underwriting at about 6% based on neighborhood scout, so nominally I think you'll make 10-11% if you had paid cash which means I think you'll do quite well holding on (20% returns or so). 

And if you base an offer price on that, you'll likely have an extremely difficult time getting any traction. 

I'm also based in California.

I'm just hoping someone with actual knowledge of it can provide some information that offers an alternate explanation.
