>have a single family rental in Merced, CA that I believe has a slow appreciation: bought for $170k in 2005 & its now worth about $400k.Because that period includes the Great Recession, that is a very good appreciation rate and better than San Diego had over the same period.3% loan is tough to beat as is a property tax that is ~50% of what it would be if you purchased today.
