I understand that appreciation certainly helps an individual build equity, but I also am attracted to consistent cash-flow with a steady (albeit possibly slower) appreciation growth. 

They better supply a massive amount of federal bailout funds to landlords after Trump's little act today, which  he used to buy the voting base.

But prices don’t always drop right away; they often stabilize as buyers and sellers adjust.For multifamily, rising rents in many markets have helped keep prices steady because higher rents mean better cash flow.

There could be a "double whammy", a recession (which we seem overdue for) then a drop in interest rates which leads to a big influx of new housing supply. 

A new owner with more capital can easily come in and decrease vacancy rates and increase supply to realize a 2-3x revenue.

@An Lan Having a vacant property just means you're missing out on rental income, which could be a steady way to make money. 

Areas near colleges or hospitals can also provide steady tenants. • Inspection/Contingency Fund: Since you’ve dealt with flat roofs, you know the importance of inspections.

Sorry...i messed that up...they both have over 780+ but he has the steady income.

Did you supply one or make them bring one?

He was happy he was getting a good steady rent check and know his property was well taken care of, and I was happy I was able to Airbnb with less expenses than had we owned the place.
