The point is: property appreciation is not guaranteed, because there are a myriad of economic, social, cultural, political and environmental factors that can affect property value--and it is very difficult to predict how these factors will interact and affect property value over the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years.I'm always surprised by how often I have to say it on the forums, but again:  if your plan hinges on future appreciation (i.e.; appreciation is a necessary requirement for your plan to work), you are not investing, you are speculating.

And yes, I understand, I also do no interact with empty comments.

I have one house that generates a ton of calls because it is the cheapest of its size in the area but not everyone reads the ad so you have to tick off the limitations in that first interaction. 

We want to be helpful to the BP community in any way we can as we spend more time interacting with all of you going forward.

I have lots of current experience interacting with the city and inspectors (and the requirements) so hit me up if you'd like further insight.

I unfortunately am a very introverted individual, and I have to work on becoming more comfortable with interacting with others.

Is it to earn a good return on your money, or because you want to be actively involved in real estate, get out to jobs, have more interaction with people, etc.?

I've now more or less interacted with most property managers in the NEPA area.

I love owning properties and hope broaden my scope of real estate investing by interacting with those have first hand knowledge on the subject.  

I am also impressed and happy to see you hold no grudge based on our last (not so pleasant) interaction a week or so ago.
