However, the recent property appreciation has been outstanding.   

That’s just using the equity we currently have and not counting future cash flow that can be applied to more acquisitions.I get leads on about to these high-quality numbers deals per month from two primary sources who are mentors and friends with way more experience and success than I have.

I consider quality of life as well as what my return is when I am purchasing a property that I might live in now and sell later....I want to be happy in that home while I am living there with my kids, that is first and foremost. 

But, without question, the show-stopper is two massive garages with museum-quality lighting, an 18-foot car turntable and parking spaces for 30 luxury cars.
