I've also debated selling the rental (Mortgage is $72k, ARV is $290k) and reinvesting the money. 

It's like the iPhone vs Android debate.  

It is one of the reasons I am debating paying off the mortgage on it early. 

I was debating getting him a $500 car, a mobile phone, free rent, and $400 / month to cover his phone, insurance, and fuel. 

Here is the official website for the rail - http://www.honolulutransit.orgI don't want this thread to be turned into some sort of debate on whether if this rail will be good for us or not, or how the fraud allegations and the money tracking seem super scandalous.  

I am debating doing Turnkey in the future.Darrell

Which leads to the debate in this thread.

That's all.We can debate until the cows come home on how high interest rate will go up in the coming years.

But in reality, only a small percentage of people are willing and able to play the game, so there's enough to go around and there's no need to rush.Second, the ongoing cashflow vs appreciation question/debate is, well, puzzling, because I think it's pretty much been settled by David Greene, the host of the BP podcast.

My debate is with the same out of pocket expense do I go for the guaranteed cash flow in the duplex or roll the dice, fix up the forclosure to get a higher cash flow and have a better chance at an increased home value?
