So, planning on a sale in 10 years, with cashflow plus the forced appreciation, the IRR (internal rate of return) is over 17%.

My biggest tip is "Never be forced to sell".

They have offered to compensate me out of contract, because they "want the numbers to stay where they are" someone I know, knows the tenant which i didnt know until recently, they are the one who informed my agent and I of the appeal and the lack of military service, she showed me the court documents that the seller and her agents have still not shown us, The person i know that knows the tenant said he HAS NOT been staying in the apartment in fear that the courts are going to find out hes not a veteran and have the sheriffs come arrest him as the court is paying the tenants weekly rent because he's an unemployed scum bag who lied about being a military veteran, She's also told me that he has signed a new apartment lease somewhere else and she has offered to and has started helping him move his stuff out of the apartment.I forced my agent to get back under contract yet again, she made the close date for tomorrow Friday the 13th of all days, the guy still isnt out of the apartment fully(meaning all his stuff) there are still random people answering the door who are not on the lease who are missing teeth left right and center. still no walk through. yet, everyone still expects me to close tomorrow, I'm telling my agent, NO let me guess, contact an attorney?

When I’m not working at my Air Force job or researching real estate, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two young children and enjoying the beauty and serenity of Minnesota/Wisconsin Lakes.

I'll have more on specific de-dollarization forces next time..in the meantime we're experiencing extremely strong interest and sales activity of investment properties on the Oregon and California Coasts and silver is up 25% this month. 

Buying something 15-20 years old, allows you to do forced appreciation.

Don’t force yourself into the Fannie Mae box of 25% down if you don’t need to.

If they do drugs, I'll call the drug task force.

So, you're forced to sell a damaged property.Second is that buy and hold real estate only really makes sense with debt.

How much a job deserves should depend on market forces and not the subjective opinion of some taxpayers as to how much the job deserves.Is there really any need to have a heated debate on this subject?
