@Charity Johns - Barksdale Air force base is near there, in Bossier.

We jumped in full force with a multifamily unit knowing that one vacancy wouldn't entirely kill our monthly cashflow.

You should either level with her now that rent is about to increase dramatically or accept that you're going to have an underperforming asset until she dies or is forced into assisted living.

They get equity, they're part of the new LLC (created specifically for that one property), they get quarterly member disbursements, tax benefits (which can be quite massive as we've started doing cost segregation studies right from the start - basically you get an accelerated depreciation schedule which offsets most if not all income the property throws off in the first few years), principal pay down on the bank loan and any appreciation (which on my deals I don't rely on market appreciation, I create it through forced appreciation - improvements, higher rents, lower costs etc). 

Gas price is one example of moving towards that direction.Purposely raising gas prices to force people into EVs is not going to work, it will backfire bigtime.

I need to be able to force appreciation of at least 20%.
