If the numbers make sense with the current taxes, a successful tax challenge down the road is just icing on the cake.

In my opinion, appreciation is "icing on the cake" for a cashflow mindset.

I didn't read all of this.What you can get and the risk involved vary greatly based on the assets location and size.Buyers want to have their cake and eat it too.

So let me get this right... you want to have your cake and eat it, too?

Oh there are tons on these forums, just look around.It's not as easy as cake an icecream.

March 1st, I actually indirectly committed to taking massive action on this investing thing.I've procrastinated a lot, visited the BP site off and on, listened to a lot of the BP podcasts, got all motivated, but would fold under the pressure of life (work, business, family, school, etc) I've learned a lot from BP, a host of other free podcasts and youtube videos (Sean Terry, Cris Chico, Cody Sperber, etc) and a live event in Anaheim, CA with Ginger Macias (on March 1st).

@Matt R.Typically my opinions are actually based on fact (at least the majority are and then I have some actual opinions that kind of serve as the icing on the cake when I make decisions on investing), but I will give it to you that I don't always include those 'facts' upfront-- mostly because before I spend a ton of time typing something out and arguing a point, I first want to make sure that's something anyone wants to hear....oftentimes in these forums the majority of responses or whatever are pretty short and sweet, and then if the poster or anyone else wants elaboration they ask (sometimes on the forum or sometimes via direct message).

That way I can at least try to have my cake and eat it too.

Appreciation is the icing on the cake. 

That Hemet 'hood took the cake.
