@Melba ChambersLooks like a solid deal.Do you expect any appreciation or rent rise as the years go by?

100$ was a fine metric ten years ago but with today’s inflation and prices you really should be hitting 200$ a door .

Monetary inflation is not a bad thing.

so it looks like rent is under valued but they have another year on their lease...and its a long term tenant w/ young family...I don't know how I'd feel jacking the rent next year.I guess other factors may be that it is close to a large corporate park/employer, so vacancy may be slim-to-nill and its in a fast growing suburb part of Austin, so maybe property value will rise and rise and rise?

Better to retain the principal even if there is a small hit annual because of inflation.

We also don't really have much flex space, which would be really nice.Idea #1: SellWe could take the equity and run, and buy elsewhere or build.Pros: Could, in theory, get whatever we want.Cons: The rest of the market is rising too.

Value Change: +47.5% and rising!

Of course, as your income rises your style should rise with it.

The market is grossly inflated right now as well so buying another LTR locally isn’t as appealing at the moment.  

best time was the mid 70s to be exact.. by 1980 prices had started their historic appreciation rise second to none in the US.anyone who bought in the 70s in the right areas is a multi millionaire on equity alone.. and if it was the exact right area SF peninsula you could be a multi millionaire with exactly ONE single family home..
