Hi all ,I talked to a friend of my parents yesterday , who is long term investor .35 years ago he sold property in big city and bought a ton of places on small city Midwest , chasing cash flow .But now he regret , he wish he kept his property in big city because appreciation is crazy while his small town investment , even after paying off mortgage and after 30 years foxes etc still didn’t value much compare to 30 years.I just release might be we should not chasing the cash flow so much and buying to small Mideast Midwest towns.

A few trips to the town hall can help with some questions you may have. 

She bought the home several years ago under a traditional mortgage, but pays a ridiculously high mortgage every month compared to how much the house rents for.Put in a simple matter, she's fed up with the situation and has my immediate family (We live in the same town as the property, while she's living far) managing the house.

I haven't fully explored what it means yet

I am partnering with a bigger broker in town that is into real estate.

We are just trying to explore our options as my father downsizes. 

Airy and the NE, if your looking for stable properties with average appreciation there's always the NE section of town, and if your looking for speculative appreciation there are several areas such as Kensington and Brewerytown.

WF took it back and had some out of town crew show up and renovate it.

I'm exploring building a guest house/duplex on an empty part of our lot to rent.

@Michael Pendleton I would explore other options prior to paying for it but it does work fairly well in most markets I have used it.
