But at the end of the day, most markets in Colorado are long-term buy-and-hold type places.

A builder friend of mine can be all in a new house for about $300k, including land, and sell for $500k+, which takes him about 8 months from start to finish.20%/yr is great for a longer term hold, like Chris's debt funds or equity investments in almost any rental.  

The thing with long term hold approach, there is generally a real boom that last 2 or 3 years every 7 to 10 years.

you're not factoring in closing costs on the buy, holding costs while you rehab, and then closing costs again when you refinance. 

That is good capital to buy multiple buy & holds or even BRRRR/fix&flips.I would be happy to hop on a call and talk about the different neighborhoods that I invest in both Columbus and Dayton.  

As for pros/cons of keeping it:Cons: 1) Poor cash flow to value, 2) Managing from afar has extra difficulties/risk, 3) No cap gains if you sell nowPros: APPRECIATION: San Diego historically has produced outstanding return for long term buy and hold.  

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment.

Undoubtedly, the Lexington/Irmo are premium zips for buy and hold.

And i am using the buy and hold strategy.
