However, I met with a local CPA today that I really liked.

.:  Bill Burr I saw today had a great take on the fires.

The decisions and actions you make today can lead to incredible long-term benefits, so it's great that you're starting now.A good starting point is connecting with a lender that aligns with your goals.

to determine true current equity if we sold today or when we move to CO.

Thanks again for your reply and I learnt something new today. 

For example, if this market appreciates (or has) at 2% per year, in 9 years the property will likely be worth 18% more than it is today.

Seeing as how in today's society the rich get richer and incomes aren't keeping up with the stock market, people in rich areas can afford richer rents.

In today’s market most homes will be worth more than their outstanding loan balance unless they are VERY recent purchases with little to no money down.

Today we have 540 units in a few states and things are not without challenges. 

I personally own a large portfolio here in Memphis and I hired a property manager for the very first proeprty and I still use them today.
