First, what if a, hypotheticallyspeaking, massive new source of gold were discovered for mining....of a new technique allowed for more extraction than before. 

I don't know the dollar amounts we're talking about here, but if you shave off 10 years, 1-2% points won't be very meaningful. 

Both can vary greatly across markets which is why RTV is not a very meaningful metric.

However, the pandemic had no meaningful impact on sales prices in 2020.

It is math that a market with higher rate of rent increases will arrays eventually produce the higher cash flow (as long as expenses going up slower than rent and no equity extracted).  

Note a market with greater rent appreciation will always eventually have better cash flow (assuming no extraction of value and expenses are increasing slower than the rent appreciation).  

@Jeff LangleyIt’s hard to give a definitive answer without the rest of your financial picture, particularly what your reserve/emergency fund looks like, but if the property will still cash flow at the higher rate, and the slight reduction in cash flow isn’t meaningful to your daily life, I’d lean toward hanging on to the cash.

It amazes me how many meaningful relationships my wife and I have built through this investing community, and it’s led to tremendous growth for my wife’s real estate business, and also growth in our portfolio and property management company with all the wise advice and lessons learned that have been shared with us.

Make sure you understand CAP rates, ROI, Cash-on-cash, etc.Get real good at extracting investor expectations from them.
