I've refocused to a smaller, 2 building compound.  

and growing at a compound rate of almost 14% annually.

Brandon,I'm basing my appreciation figure based upon its current market value of $1,300,000, per a recent appraisal. 3% compounded annually for four years it should reach $1,463,000 in value. $1,463,000 -$1,300,000 =$163,000

So I've been running into a lot of houses lately that have bowing foundation walls or other foundation problems (in my case it has mainly been from frost heave and poor grading on the exterior of the house) and have been advised to steer clear from them.

It’s been very rewarding to me and I have done well by letting it compound every month.

I estimated an ARV of $300,000-$325,000, but in its current condition $250k to $280kThe property is outdated, but completely habitable and clean. when listing the property the basement was still full of my grandparents belongings, so nobody realized the walls were bowing inward. 

Throw in a dose of looting in larger cities (where I live) and it compounds the issue. 

I would work on solving the underlying problems in this equation, because compounding $5k doesn't get you very far.  

As far as your three considerations:A- Fees - In real estate, you're typically working on fairly tight margins and hoping to take advantage of compounding interest.
