I sincerely appreciate your input and support.As we prioritize cash flow and equity as our primary goals, we understand the importance of strategic location selection to ensure optimal rental income.Considering our business objectives, it may be necessary to expedite our planned strategy to increase our capital expenditure and emergency fund, mitigating any potential risks in the coming year.

It seems like this will start putting downward pressure on appreciation. 

I pay $4100/mo not including utilities. 1 year appreciation according to all 3 real estate websites zillow, redfin, and realtor.com, my house is worth about $645k.I've been house hacking by renting out my additional 2 bedrooms to mid term rentals (usually 6mo stays) and brought in about $9k for the first year.

Investment Strategy:Buy and HoldInvesting herebecause: Potential to Appreciate in Long Term (10yrs+), want to build NetWorth, Affordable in my budgetYear 1 Evaluation: Gross Monthly Rental Income = $2,042.50 Monthly Cashflow = -$76.05 GRM = 12.79 Cap Rate = 5.12% CoC ROI = -1.11%Hoping that theinterest rates go down so that the monthly cashflow becomes +ve.

Also the property has appreciated and built in equity over that time as well.

The house is in Layton Utah which has had great appreciation, but the cash flow stinks.

All suggestions are appreciated. 

Thank you for any help, I appreciate it!

And here's why:Key Takeaways:1) The market is following the original year-over-year appreciation trendline from 2014 upwards, indicating sustained growth and stability.2) Supply issues in Reno's housing market are once again in focus, emphasizing the need for strategic solutions to address housing shortages.3) Exciting developments, like Tesla's massive expansion to manufacture electric semi-trucks in Northern Nevada, will further strain housing availability, signaling continued demand.4) With increased home prices, we anticipate a ripple effect on rental markets in both single-family and multifamily sectors, driving up rents due to housing unaffordability.For California investors in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento the proximity of Reno and stability of investments are attractive. 

Any help is appreciated.
