I have seen it happening in Sac near downtown but it’s bit inconvenient for me purely from time and day perspective.

My question:  From a purely real estate investment standpoint, is it better to buy something in the lower range that may have a bigger return on investment?

We're both 26, by the time we're 35 I would like for us to have over 100 Units generating pure cash flow bringing in at least 60-80k/Month becoming financially free in our mid thirties!!!

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.

Not sure there.He is in it a couple of weeks, and is now ready to be the Wholesailing King of the World.Sounds like he still doesn't know what hebis talking about, although they teach him investing lingo, so he feels confident.This feels like a pure scam to me, but if anyone has any positive experiences, I'd be excited to hear!

I don't plan to ever sell it as it'll make a great rental when I'm done living in it years from now, but the excellent financial aspect of it's appreciation was pure luck of timing.
