Hello Mike, Syracuse and surrounding area is benefitting from an influx of tech companies and a huge chip manufacturing company, Micron, which is building a $100 billion fab over the next 20 years. 

I moved many times during my Navy career to markets all over the US and even Toronto.

It's nice, but it's also over built for it's investment use potentials. 

I am over them and can't do this anymore. 

I listened intently and wrote down everything Dave said, over and over and over again.

Therefore, the owner had to go all the way through the courts for an eviction. 

Even if you only averaged 2.8% appreciation annually, which if you've had it 20 years I have no clue how that's true given prices have well more than doubled in that time, youre skipping over the fact that you have been benefiting from that appreciation on the ENTIRE house, not just the % you paid for.  

If you take that focus off the table and understand this is a very complicated business that tends to be really lucrative over the long game, you will be ok.

If it's worth $1.3 million today, it will be worth $3 million or more in 20 years, you'll have paid off the debt (or most of it), you'll earn at least $3 million in cash flow over those 20 years, and you'll have tax benefits.
