From websearch, it seems a better deal than heloc in terms of interest rate.Also is there a limit of how much cash I Can take out.

In terms of appreciation, nothing would surprise me! 

"Maybe" might cut it for you, but for the client, that is an unacceptable risk.A licensed realtor brings a lot to the table in terms of licensing, insurance and time.  

These prices are taken straight from the MLS data for those years.That lot appreciation is obviously unmatched in terms of return, almost four times your money back over fifteen years for a small initial investment without you having to do much of anything.

So you end up never quite completely "there" in terms of success. 

At this stage, conventional lending should work just fine, especially if your tax returns show income for the current rentals.Things started getting a bit more difficult for us when going for the 5th loan...not impossible, but much more in terms of a 25% down payment and 6 months' "liquid reserves" that we had to have on hand. 

I saw an MLS listing on 44th & Kingsley the other day that looked quite decent in terms of condition & it was listed at $19.9k. 

I think the trend will swing back from renting and group psychology about "rising real estate values" will kick in just as it did 10-15 years ago.Yes I think we should keep buying to get more pieces on the board (boats in the water to rise), but completely disregard any potential appreciation both in terms of our return calculations and psychologically (in other words, don't get caught up in the coming "real estate boom" psychology and buy marginal properties or cash flow negative properties expecting appreciation).That may mean doing fewer deals but it's a price I'm personally willing to pay.There are also some broader economic issues which could throw in some systemic risk and gum up the works, such as Russia-Ukraine, the Chinese economy, the European economy (and some of its weaker members like Greece), etc.So in my mind I think there are three possible scenarios: 1) 1/3 likely to have steady good growth in RE values (scenario of U.S. economy continuing to do reasonably well but little/tepid real wage growth), 2) 1/3 likely to have another boom (scenario of U.S. economy doing very well and finally having real wage growth for the first time in a long time), and 3) 1/3 likely to have the train get derailed by external factors such as the world economy, some kind of war, etc.In all of those scenarios it seems to me that good, cash flowing properties will be good to have.

I live in Brush Park and there are some great things happening here in terms of new businesses & apartment complexes that will begin construction by the end of this year.

To add to what you are saying - single tenant properties are simpler in terms of operations though financing can be tougher to obtain because lenders worry about vacancy exposure.
