HelloI recently have a rental property with tenants for over 8years.

I figure for the first year, this property would gross at least $50k-60k annually.

Having two open loans for the property is not ideal as that's double closing costs but maybe that is a fairly normal strategy?

I reached agreement with a seller to buy their 12 unit building at a very good price, but the property is located in an area where I'm required to have windstorm insurance because it's location close to the Gulf.

The final bid price varied depending on the property.

Hello Jovan, I would think appreciation is based on scarcity of the property, if you buy a home in a cookie cutter neighborhood, you probably aren't going to see a lot of appreciation. 

In AZ, almost everything is utility scale, so 2.5 acres isn't going to attract much attention from power purchasers or solar developers.

Hello BP,An owner of multiple units reached out to me and was interested in my property management company.

Skiptracing is a valuable tool for real estate investors, especially when you're trying to locate property owners from returned mail or to expand your marketing efforts.

I bought a property for my family and I with the Veterans Affairs Loan in 2017 and that was scary.
