I have never heard of a location where you can get both high return today (indicating a declining market) and long term appreciation at or above inflation (indicating an appreciating market).

These units, in hot areas, will likely get the max increase (5%+inflation to a max of 10% per year).

Inside a QBP cash flow builds liquid assets that can only be eroded by inflation and allows the portfolio to grow faster while building a foundation for a great retirement later.

MF is inflated these days and SF is easier to cash out of due to the fact that apartments are harder to sell than houses. let me know if you would like to chat a little. 

@Cody L.If the balance in your 401k is the same as it was 10 years ago - you lost money to inflation, this amount does not have the same purchasing power as it had 10 years ago.

You should be able to afford it with your income roughly increasing with inflation and the cashflow from your other rentals.

Your state just passed a law that says you can give people aids and it's not a crime, your governor has allowed San Francisco to be taken over by bums, your taxes are up to 13% state income, it's 25% more expensive to do business in CA from day one, the prices are over inflated (we're talking -2% cap rates!)

The cap rates have been compressed recently due to inflation and buyers willing to accept less yield.Hope this helpful.

For example, how do you take into account future inflation or the cost of a significant illness?

However, at this point, I just wanted to get it stabilized with tenants.There's a built-in 2.2% per year increase in rents due to inflation.
