Yes, I highly recommend you check out Baselane!

Appreciation is just the cherry on top.The last few years Toledo somewhat caught up with appreciation but I believe we are capped now.It's a slow moving market and always behind the rest of the country.There is just not enough demand/infrastructure growth like in other markets to support continued appreciation.Historical data shows the Toledo market appreciating at the pace of inflation which is nothing to brag about hehe.IMO, it's a cashflow play and you should consider building a larger portfolio because it will be safer.Owning 1-2 properties can be a "hit and a miss" and really not the providers or PM's fault.There is a high likelihood of turnover so it's important to build a larger portfolio.If you experience "drama" on 1 or 2 properties, the other 4-5 are performing and can subsidize any losses incurred on the few that temporarily aren't performing.Wishing you much success

Unless its a fixer upper if you make high cashflow out the gate it's likely to have high turnover.

A gas station location can have high VPD numbers, but if it is on the exit path from a freeway (as in, on the side of the road leading away from the freeway) it will do much worse than if it is ON THE WAY to the freeway.2. 

Any pointers on how should I run numbers to compare two cases.Case 1:  Rent home A, Buy Home B @7.5%, with potential refinance at 3.5-4% ( ifff thats feasible ) after 2 years, once the rates are down. ( i know high hopes , but I dont think 7.5% is the new normal ).Case 2: Sell the home, get equity out, pay the whole equity ( dont know if thats wise ) towards downpayment of home B, reducing loan amount to approx 320k. 

BTW, there are plenty of areas here in Atlanta that are still seeing high demand and appreciation, despite rates and inflation.

The two don't come anywhere close to comparing, I could walk a class of 6th grades through this math, it's that simple.
