However, in a recent conversation with Home Union, a national turnkey-ish company, they stressed how important it is to invest in high-growth and "emerging markets," and said that I should accept cash-on-cash returns of ~4-5% in exchange for the higher long-term gains and reliability of tenants to pay rents in these growing areas.I am conflicted because everything I have read stresses cash flow so strongly and that appreciation is just "icing on the cake."

The Village at Sunriver has breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, gift shops, a kids fun zone, sports equipment rentals, etc. 

I am looking to either open a ice cream shop or convenience store.

Can anyone recommend a product that melts ice/snow without damaging concrete?

These guys have not paid anything since we purchased and apparently didn't pay much to the previous owner.All that and the icing on the cake??

It was clear that a hockey stick was an effect, we had a sense of urgency to take advantage of an offer as soon as we could afford one.
