Losing 8% whenever I sell makes a purely "appreciation play" not nearly as valuable. 

This is more something of personal preference than pure analysis for you to consider.  

(but yet somehow I am still proud of it and want to teach folks how they can do the same, but obviously have more than 4... through the power of consistency)However, I just wanted to share my proud moment of having these 4 followers with you guys in Bigger Pocket, so maybe by just pure luck or perhaps by your very own curiosity you get to check it out to see what I think about commercial real estate world of investment and why on earth am I doing this... 

But as for pure appreciation potential, I’d wager that a good SFH will be a more solid bet than a condo in a tower (different than a condo in a small 2-4 bldg.)

This is purely selfish on their part.

Pure Inspiration. 

I'm considering somewhere in PA so I can drive out and see the areas on the weekends, but that's purely based on proximity.
