Tough to predict ten years out, none of the data providers go out further than five.According to CoStar, 1-3 star office properties in Poway have a 3.4% vacancy that trends up gradually to 6% by 2022, with consistent negative absorption of about 2500 sf / quarter.

The returns can be pretty consistent whether the market goes up or down. 

As of now at the basic level I am, my goal is to buy and hold properties at the residential level to produce a consistent cashflow.

If a seller is required by law to disclose to every future buyer what is found during the inspection, I'm struggling to understand why, in TX, I have consistently experienced this problem.

Anyone who has the skills to find deals consistently would just do it themselves. 

@Jenn A.Imo part of the deal is providing a home with consistent functionality.

I was sent a deal that consists of 3 doors (duplex and a mobile home)  fully rented that will seem to cash flow after the appropriate reserves are set aside.

The more I invest over the years, the more I see that a sure deal lends to higher return at a higher consistent rate than high-risk deals.Justin WareTexas

Once you see your savings rate consistently increasing, go for your Heloc idea to buy a property.
