Additionally, my brother agreed to manage it - icing on the cake!

But these guys absolutely took the cake.

The primary goal is strong cash flow, appreciation is just the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.

I'm much more comfortable with the process and the first 10 houses would be a piece a cake.

Thats a piece of cake for an agent .  

You betcha, that LLC thing could be used as "icing on the [lender's] cake," with cake in this case being legal actions taken against you.

In the 3 markets were considering moving to, we'd expect some seasonal fluctuations in demand/pricing elasticity, but overall, would expect to have some relatively healthy occupancy rates year-round (say, 70-80%)Appreciation would be more the icing-on-the-cake than anything, so a properties ability to CASH FLOW is more important to us than the rate with which it may appreciate in value.

I️ just finished watching a commercial where people are hyped off of a free seminar and talking about retiring in one year after wholesaling and doing deal after deal like its cake.

Remember these words " cash flow is king" when comes to rental property and appreciation is icing on the cake.

The cherry on top of the cake is the interesting feature when combined with Google photos: With the google photos sync on my phone, the notifications with 12 sec videos get recorded on the phone and automatically synced to the unlimited google photos cloud, making them available permanently!
