Anyway, my real estate investing plan (as it exists today) is not focused on rapid growth, neither in terms of properties or wealth.  

Look where the growth is headed and if it is sustainable. 

Quality of market-population trends, industry, growth, where the market is in the growth cycle, neighborhoods, price-to-rent ratios...

It is a great high growth area with tons of opportunity.

. , Account Closed , I've decided to use some of my cash-flowing properties to support more appreciation-oriented growth on other projects, as a balance toward my goal of building passive cash flow AND more net worth.

Also, population growth should play a significant role in your location selection.  

I can't get residential loans on more than 10 and I can't cash out if I have more than 4 - and my first 3 are in a high appreciating market and I felt that I would be limited in my growth ability but not being able to reinvest the equity

Built in 2007 a lot of growth in the area very good chance equity will come into play but that is icing on the cake.  

I'd hate to refi into a higher rate, but I assume it would be wise from a CYA perspective if I were to hold onto the property.If I need to include more information in order to receive a response, I'm happy to do so.Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your replies.Hi Jimmy,You have a golden tenant and this is one of the main reasons why I would hold this property.I have been involved in numerous RE transactions over the years and know that you don't buy tenants but rather properties.In your case tho, if she has been there for so long with you owning the property over that time and now she wants a new 2 year lease, I would definitely let the above rule slide lollolThe $50 per month is not a big cashflow but the property being located downtown has potential for growth IMO.

If your AM is to aggressive then you face the risk of not qualifying for the next loan despite your aggressive equity growth.
