But you still have quite a bit of appreciation just on your half I would imagine. 

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

I appreciate the guy that's always looking for a work around.

Newbie investor to FL so any advise is appreciated!

I am looking at it as a cash flow game and would like to know if the rents will be appreciated in the next 3 to 5 years.2.

Can the combination of rent and appreciation qualify it as being held for investment purposes or will IRS say I was not trying to rent it and deny 1031?

I appreciate the feedback!

On one side the companies appears stronger, due to labor cost cutting, so equity investors appreciate the companies improvement on the quarterly reports, which supports investors desiring to invest more in other business, which improves the economy.

Current annual income is $101k-Annual rent increases of 3% are realistic making annual income after 10 years $136k-If interest rates lower a refinance would lower annual mortgage expense-an added bonus over time would be appreciation (which will likely not happen within the next few years)Thank you for any input!

Any thoughts from any seasoned investors would be greatly appreciated.
