Buy and hold in perpetuity vs exit plan

Residential properties change, neighborhoods change, homes become dysfunctional, market changes can take values down as well as up.There are very few 100 year old homes in my area that remain desirable today.Commercial can suffer similar issues.Always have an exit, there are aspects beyond your control that can effect a property, the trick can be when to bail out before negative influences arrive.There are several trusts that can be beneficial in holding good properties long term, just make sure there is flexibility built in to dump a property and move on to something else. :)
