On some other threads, there seems to be an underlying debate or difference in philosophy around buy-and-hold investment strategy:  In one camp, the goal is to invest in high appreciation areas, even though they are high-priced and might not be cash flow positive in the near term. 

@Allan Smith ah, the age-old cashflow vs. appreciation debate...where one stands on this debate should depend on their financial picture.A 20 yr old kid with no net worth can't afford to break even month to month on their first property, and they can't afford the risk of speculation on future appreciation...that's too much risk for them because they have nothing to protect themselves when things turn south.
