However, I see an uptick of numbers over past 2 years (assuming online census data is accurate).Is it a good idea to buy commercial space such as storage facility in Decatur?

When looking at real estate we know that very seldomly does an asset perfectly return an exact percentage and typically the asset grows in value over the time period.

It is very easy to use, pretty customizable and pulls data right in from the MLS which can be a time saver if you're dealing with an on market property.

@Sarp Ka My team and I usually just use the MLS data as well as country records (as far as I know).

With cars being in demand, I'm hoping I can get some trade-in value and that this new car would hopefully last me another 10+ years.I don't want to add a monthly car payment to my budget, and I have enough reserves to buy in cash and not be wiped out - but it would still be a decent chunk for me. 

If we can accomplish this then our properties will double in value in a short time. 

Working with our agent to get a better idea on value there.Originally we wanted to find a way to utilize the equity for another purchase since we expect a decent increase in value but not sure which direction is the best way to go.

what are you guys seeing in values of 30 to 50 unit older buildings that have been fully rehabbed..

Since then this house has doubled in value.

Becoming a loan officer has been an invaluable asset in my business and I'm sure the property will appreciate in the 18 months.
