:When your kids ask where you invested back in 2015 what location do you think they hope you picked.In 5 years, when I've left my job and I can devote 100% of my time to raising them and attending school activities and sporting events, I would hope they would say the properties paying a 20% cash return and not some cash flow loser that I have to hold for 30 years in order for it to pencil out.  

I've owned quite a few vehicles, including more high-end sport model BMWs, and there's just nothing like driving a Miata.
