A blue chip dividend growth stock say Proctor and Gamble will have a lower PE ratio, say 15, that might be the equivalent of slow steady appreciation, but no real price appreciation. 

I've chosen to keep some equity in my properties with the intention of paying them off, sort of as security.

By Day 40, had anyone called the tenant's place of work supposedly inquiring about collecting on the tenant's outsized gambling debts?

@Evan Tan, I do believe gambling winnings are taxable and paying income tax on it would give you documentable income which you need to get financing. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419
