Being nestled right next to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe drives a lot of equity and growth over the mountain with limited amounts of buildable land, increasing appreciation here significantly.  

Hi @Christian Orellana, a lot of the clients that I work with that purchase real estate here in Florida for cash-flow/appreciation, buy in Tampa.

I appreciate your insight!  

The city is having quite a few issues and as a transplanted native of 30+ years, when I go back to visit I'm shocked and saddened by the downturn the greatest city in the world has taken.Lastly, we can paper-project what our cash flow, appreciation, and interest rates will be, but all we can know is what's happening right now. 

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to leave a comment I very much appreciate it, it means a lot!

@Joe Villeneuve Do you factor in property appreciation in your ROI calc?

I'd appreciate if you sent me a copy of that.

I get paid every month, the tenants are paying off my mortgages, and my properties are appreciating. 

My worst appreciating property has appreciated ~$2.6k/month.  

In today's real estate market, several effective investment strategies include:Buy and Hold: Acquire properties for long-term rental income and potential appreciation.
