Any and all tips are much appreciated!

My primary goal is long term appreciation and I'll accept a property that breaks even on cash flow.

Any thoughts on creative things to do with this old Cchurch  building are appreciated.

The heads-up is much appreciated, will have to dive into their videos online as well, once I make the switch. 

I really appreciate the help !

The new property should have some amount of cash flow, provide additional tax benefits, and appreciate in value while having your bills paid for by the new tenants and the new rent which in my opinion would be a better return on your investment than simply recasting your loan.

Here in Reno, NV area the new construction has been appreciating faster that the market in the last 6 months. 

I like to see 2%+ $/sf/mo appreciation & above $3/sf/mo on avg, indicates it's a higher-valued & safer market to put ~$1.5M in equity.So you can definitely build these out, but beware it'll mostly be something you glance at and rarely get something actionable from.

However, the power of leverage will make you very wealthy in only 10 years or less when you factor in your monthly cash flow, principal pay down of your mortgage and 5% appreciation.

I appreciate your helpful advice.
