If we weren’t in a rapidly appreciating area in a strong market we’d have much less leeway for errors and couldn’t have grown as fast as we have. 

I adjacent properties that can be developed into 50+/- parking spaces.Pittsburgh is experiencing rapid economic growth and one of the drivers for this trend is growth in the technology sector creating increased demand for incubator and co-working space.

My objective is cash flow and rapid mortgage payoff.

I'm looking more in the southeast, but interested to see what's going on out there as I have a buddy out in Houston who said the market is rapidly expanding.

The only properties that I generally shun are those built during the early to mid 80s - I call it the rapid depreciation era. 

@Angel Pedroza it's an industry problem...and brokers wonder why the face of the industry is changing so rapidly...just wait until Amazon takes over...The problem is the exclusivity agreements...there is more to it, but the line of communication system is not good.

Grand Rapids is a great city and I have family there.

So I would rapidly try to pay it down to get that LTV to a point where you can refinance it, then move out and rent it out.2) If you will be there long term, then save rapidly for the next one and let your money and savings snowball.Remember to celebrate the little victories and the harder you work now, the better it will pay off later.

Hi All,My wife and I live in Denver but are looking to move to Grand Rapids in about 2 years.
