Double digit get caps are to be had if you know where and have the right team. 

@Andrew Aladjadjian cash out, use the money to buy rental props out of state with double digit net caps .

The house has already appreciated at somewhere in the high 5-digits.

Each state would have build its own military, its own currency, its own FBI, CIA, white house staff..redundancy and waste! 

I got started in real estate when interest rates were double digits…1980.

If you were to add inflation also to the equation, then after 30 years the very rationality of waiting that long then becomes a serious question.If 8.5% seems high for a conventional mortgage, mortgage rates in 1984 were in the 13% range (18% in 1981 and still in double digits by 1986).

For official legal verification of the zoning on a particular property, please call the Development Assistance Center atPlease have the County Appraisal District reference number of the property (14 digits) ready prior to calling.

There's also the possibility, and I know many people think it's unimaginable right now, is that the developed world total debt will become so huge that the powers that be decide to wipe everyone's slate clear, and declare a single, new currency.

It's always good to diversify; being exposed to a different currency, a more stable marketplace etc - as long as you know what you are doing, you are being realistic and ready for some adventure in life:-)
