Instead of saving, I would divert the savings to paying this down. 4.

The only time where it goes hand in hand is, if the neighbourhood is deteriorating (in the McDonald example is when traffic is diverted when a new road is built, or if there is a migration out of a neighbourhood where business is going down and so your NOI as well as the value of the business).

You can basically recycle your same 50k over and over again to keep buying properties. 

Then have 4-foot bands of crushed rock or recycled concrete with the "fines" placed in a row at the front and the back. 

In fact, after two or three more acquisitions I'll be able to divert some of the cash flow toward lifestyle improvement. 

My real passion is sustainability - everything from recycling/resource management to energy efficient building design to just getting out and being in the great outdoors!

If all goes well on the re-finance we'll have all of the initial investment pulled out of the project, or very close too it, providing and infinite ROI for many years into the future, and can recycle the money into the next project. 

It reminds me of the landlord next to one of my properties, I see him out there once and a while pickign through the tenants trash, gloves and face mask on, opening trash bag after bag, pickign out the various cans and recyclables, so proud of himself and all the $ "those tenants are just throwing away".

The amount of gold that is recycled is fairly low.
