Appreciation has slowed in the last couple of years.

I appreciate the feedback sir.

and get the real impact on your return from amortization of the loan, depreciation, and appreciation as well as cash flow. 

In other words, you'll end up with tons of info and great advice, but none of it is going to do anything for anyone unless that information is applied and executed.I do appreciate the info, the knowledge and material given in the workshop and for free online, I can only imagine the more expensive course will provide even more of that.Good luck with your decision.

My main goal right now is to get positive cash flow along with standard property appreciation (~3% like rest of the US).ThanksJai

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

My plan is to self-manage the property and rent it out by the room, and I believe your expertise could provide invaluable insights to help me navigate this venture successfully.Specifically, I'm seeking advice on the following areas:Property Management Software: I'd appreciate recommendations for property management software that would streamline my operations and help me stay organized.Bookkeeping: Could you provide guidance on best practices for bookkeeping in rental property management?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

These things don't appreciate much but if the returns keep growing after the renovation, the prices may jump once again.

The high-appreciation asset will gain more value monthly than the low-appreciation asset that spins off some cashflow.That said, are you sure the first home will appreciate more over time?
