That's a significant amount of after-tax savings to accumulate.Investing in a city with an average annual appreciation of 8% can be a game-changer.

Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that. 

Include some outdoor games (cornhole, foursquare).

Agree 100% especially if they don't have capital and a capital sponsor wants 75% or more - something better than nothing especially when you don't have skin in the game 

I am new to the game with 1 property leased to section 8 under my belt and was about to buy another.
