We are very profitable, all properties cash flow and have very healthy equity. 

I also expect values to continue to rise at a healthy pace. (8% collectively on my investments last year alone)The Evidence: Supply is literally limping along at this point.

Healthy industries get more and more competitive as more companies enter the market.

Rents in my market (Phoenix) are improving drastically at the moment and appreciation has been EXTREMELY healthy over the last 5 years.

@Jared Smith the entire valley has been a great place to invest over the last several years and is continuing to rise in healthy appreciation and a popular USA city for people to move to take advantage of the many job opportunities and low property taxes our city has to offer!

Debt is not a problem if your reserves are healthy enough. 

Think buy with intent to do some small cosmetic changes but capex is healthy and sell, or hold and rent.

For me, after 18 years of selling, I've found a company that not only offers a better split and complete return of the company's split that is awarded to high producers, but also offers an opportunity to have a healthy passive income long into retirement. 

Appreciation is very healthy, which is good for those who hold properties long enough.

So I still have relationships from my past I just limit them in scope and have healthy boundaries.
