While the market saw a slight moderation compared to the previous year, with an approximate appreciation rate of about 10-11%, it remained a seller's market for most of the year.

And the other thing I recall about the building is that it had old post and pier foundation I was worried it would wobble off its foundation in a moderate earth quake.

I’m not going to hit my goals on a few hundred extra dollars a month in cashflow but I will with a mix of steady appreciation (8-15% or more) And moderate cashflow.

My property management company is willing to handle and manage the repairs (but since it'll be expensive I will likely want to go there so I can manage some of the repairs and pick out my materials).Out of the 3 options, this would come with the least amount of tax repercussions.Cons: Moderate stress.

If it sits vacant for any length of time, you will see your cash reserves deplete rapidly.If it were me, I’d stay put in your current home, relish in the equity you built without risking it, and invest in something that will generate cash flow even if moderate compared to your first option.

Moderator note: Please look for this meetup in the Events Forum.

If you haven't and you're trying to get all your ducks in a row before "going live", I'd set a moderate policy (maybe 30 days) and kick it down the road a little. 

I am sure the moderators will correct me if I am wrong.

I see projects that will be successful if the market trajectory stays on its current course, but are not likely to meet projections if there is a moderate downturn.

I can't post it here or the moderators will delete.
