On balance I have made way, way more money from appreciation that I ever did from cash flow.To me the most important consideration is to always have money or access to money, never be forced to sell.

But the road crosses 3 other properties for which there is no legal access.  

.- My advice; however, is to work with a good mortgage broker as they often have access to more lenders (B or C lenders) that might be more flexible than the 5 big banks.- Finally where to buy: in general, ON, BC are expensive while AB, QC follows and other provinces, such NB, NS, PEI are much much more affordable.

With the newly implemented congestion pricing in Manhattan easy access to NYC public transport is golden.

As a broker, I do have access to about 15 companies that do helocs on investments! 

Moving south...here are some quick areas of note: Florence - Centrally located and easily accessible from Eugene.

Yes , I was hoping I would have enough to start my real estate journey in LA but Im starting to see it might not be as accessible as I thought 

I've heard both terms floating around Im still trying to figure out what a "co-host" is myself as I have seen them advertising different services. 

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

If you’ve got strong tenant demand, proximity to top employers, or even access to public transit, you’re laying a solid foundation.
