The tax benefits alone are worth it- the appreciation and cash flow are the icing on the cake. 

The fridge had a water hookup from the sink to the back of it for ice and water dispensing.

@Jordan Greek With appliances, but I’ve had problems over the years with refrigerators with water hookups for water and ice makers.

Usually if an ac runs continuously it's because it's iced up.

For example I want to make my own AAA game which is not cheap, make my future wife and future kids have everything they want and that just the tip of the ice burg.

really just the icing on the cake for your heirs. 

EVERYONE is doing it wrong.Do it yourself.That is the only way you are sure you do it correct.It is easier than you think I promise you that.Then lastly... sure the advantage of DMM is you are getting your own leads... but when you stop marketing the leads stop.Not sustainable.An other disadvantage is that when I do my walk trhoughs and walk the houses of some of our leads (that I got for free as they look for ME, not me looking for them) I see STACKS of yellow letters and postcards from competitors.... you are one of SO many sending mailers... yet they pick me when I didn't send them a SINGLE mailer.We even sit there with iced tea in my hand as they offer us cookies laugh at these poor suckers sending mailers.

I didn't mention Appreciation because in this climate that is the thing that is the most unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed (nothing is guaranteed by the way) but appreciation has some skill involved but there are a lot of factors that a person can't control that affects appreciation greatly so I wouldn't count on it, if it happens then it's the icing on the cake. 

People treat appreciation as icing on the cake and in a large number of cities that should be the way it is treated. 

I have always invested for cash flow and appreciation was icing on the cake.
