Appreciation.Cash flow because the cost of property there vs. the rent equates to cash flow (so long as you buy right) and the current market values are so far below the cost to build (almost half the cost) that eventually, values must come back to at least the cost to build which equates to appreciation.Don't thing for one minute that you can not jump in and make some landlording money, just get educated first.
