I buy and hold.

Buying the land right (at a good price) will determine the end result of cash flow (if building the home to keep) especially as you factor in Holding costs and Builder fees. 

As a percentage closing cost as percentage goes down as value increases but we will 15X to account for closing costsNo cash flow per OP.2% market appreciation equated to 30% + 15% = 45% 3% market appreciation equates to 45% + 15% = 60%4% market appreciation equates to 60% + 15% = 75%Recognize in virtually all markets the cash flow increases with hold length especially if a fixed rate loan. 

Goal is long term rental buy and hold.

Do I continue to hold it and hope the appreciation eventually makes for a more palatable return?

Cannot confirm as of yet.Not sure the best route, thinking I should consult with a RE lawyer, and talk to the city tax office if I can 't get a hold of the owner before the property goes into the 5 year delinquency.Thanks!

I'm a beginner and I'm looking for tips on how to perform a proper market analysis on houses to buy and hold long term and rent out.Right now I'm looking through all the MLS websites and finding properties in locations and within my price range.

They only hold yield share.
