Doesn't make sense to me given that typically ROI includes the impact of appreciation as well as any other financial benefits.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

Is the PM an individual that works for a larger organization or their own independent business (eg like a realtor who works with a group of people at an office)? 

I really like the Nokomis area a lot - if you're looking at holding onto this one as a rental for a while, I'm sure you'll see some nice appreciation in the coming years too.Just curious, but did you do the full renovation after closing on it, or did it come pretty much turnkey for you? 

I just took a course and was learning about market research, like looking at population per capita in an area and average income, among other things, and comparing those factors in one community where there may be a property you are interested it to another community.

Are you limited by dates like a 1031 ?  

How would I do that - send them a formal invoice or request, or can it be less formal like a simple email? 

And so, knowing that RE investing is my ticket to financial freedom as well as how important a location/market is for investing, how much do you believe I value the RE market while looking for my first job?

I'd like to know what I'm getting for my money.First, I tend to look for listings on a computer and focus on the map, not the search results alongside the map.

@Jeremy Beland I really like this story.
