If you want to know the appreciation potential, records show I could have gotten $650,000 for it in 2018, therefore it appears the market has flattened out.Would you TRADE a 2-3% Cap Rate for a 5-6% Cap rate when you are looking mainly for Retirement Cash Flow?

They are life insurance policies that are ‘traded’ due to the subject having a terminal situation.  

Oftentimes, sellers will sell cash flowing property because they are looking to trade up.

My experience with real estate is part personal investing in publicly traded REITs, part classes from my Finance degree, and part derivatives based from my current job.
