Matthew McNeil Are you willing to invest in RE appreciation with 2 caveats?
17 November 2018 | 55 replies
If your roof starts to leak, AC breaks down, etc., you'll have to deal with expensive repairs while hoping your home's appreciation will come out positive.If the market corrects and you have to hold on to the property longer, you could be losing money from having to handle repairs while you wait for the home price to go up.Forced appreciation through rehab is your way to minimize these unexpected costs, not speculative appreciation.
