Most of us have had to change the folks we work with as we either pivot strategies or they arent living up to our expectations. 

By letting 6 months go by, one can "reasonably" expect a new market value. 

I'm not confident in buying those and if I fail on my first attempt, I may not be able to continue confidently in the future.

Given the new Samsung campus plus the 7MM sq.ft. of new office space to be built for Amazon at the Bay 101 site, I expect the housing market for downtown and north San Jose to be hot in the very near future.

I actually have a store right now and expected to ROI in about a year or so.

Hello my name is Ben and I'm  newly married man planning for his future.

May reach out to you in the near future.

But I personally value buying property in an area that appreciates more and has the potential for better tenants and rental increases, so I will easily give up the idea of the 1% rule, as I think future growth is much more important to me. 

When you depreciate that portion of the asset, you reduce your basis, and ultimately increase your future tax liability in exchange for the write off in the current year.1) What is your short/long term plan with the property? 

So, that will be something you will come to in the future also.
