Thank you, @Remington Lyman, for sharing your valuable insights.

Are you in an area where land is very valuable leaving you with less to depreciate?

Volatility in interest rates often presents opportunities to acquire valuable properties at competitive prices.

Appreciation is far more valuable for the seasoned investor and it's no mystery why the BP podcast has been talking about that over cash flow a lot in there more recent episodes.

These simple questions you'll gain valuable insights into the current status of the property.

Thanks to everyone for your valuable input.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of valuable connections and insights here. 

If people receive help, mentorship and guidance with someone with experience, then I would say that is a little more valuable than reading about a topic online.  

The experience you will gain and making a calculated decision (which you clearly are) will be incredibly valuable in my opinion. 

@Justin BrownExploring off-market opportunities is a great strategy, and your friend's advice about searching for properties for rent on platforms like FB Marketplace and Craigslist can be a valuable approach.
