Desirable today...but tomorrow?
I purchased a duplex built in 1989. It's my first home/investment. Its in an area that today people generally want to live, the other homes are kept in nice condition and new homes are still being built only a few streets behind. My question stemmed somewhat from the dead horse debate of appreciation vs. Cash flow but I don't want to debate that here. My home is almost 30 years old. When we look at buy and hold, we think about holding for a long time.
Self storage in small towns?
Originally posted by @Johnny Horner: Self storage popping up everywhere, what is the BP community thoughts on self storage in small towns? The town with less then 2000 people. Currently 62% occupied. As a self storage investor, Small towns don't scare me at all! In fact, I seek them out. The merits of a self storage facility are dependent on a lot of things but size of town is not one of them. A better measure is supply and demand...square foot of storage per person.

Recent Trends and Cycles in YOUR Market
I just finished listening to episode 52 of the BP podcast with Ken McElroy, and towards the end of the show, he discusses how his investment company was focusing mainly on expansion of their large multi-family/apartment portfolio. To give some context, if you haven't listened to it, the episode was published in January of 2014. Ken predicted that the apartment investment market was going to peak in 2-3 years, or roughly early 2016 to early 2017.
PWND? Found out "low income" tenants make more than me.
I inherited tenants at a duplex I bought in February. Both units had low income racial minority families with school-aged children. (Race is relevant because I'm white, and there's a well-publicized issue in Portland right now with gentrification and displacement due to rising housing costs.) I agonized about how to handle the situation, because they were paying half of market rent.

Self Storage Valuation
@Jun Wang ALL of the figures below are WRONG. You have to validate and change to Boots on the ground knowledge. You have to own the thought process. Here is a "Cost" approach, you have to change the info: $120,000 Land- 1 acre $315,000 roughly 90 (10x10) units at $3,500 erected, brand new. $20,000 Fence $ 0 No Gate? If swing gate put $10,000; roll gate use $20,000 not automated. $120,000 Concrete, you mean driveways?
Pay off rental mortgage early, or keep making payments?
Hi guys, I'm admittedly a bit math-challenged, so I'm having a difficult time running numbers on which option will serve me better in 10 years, 15 years, and 20 years. I tried making spreadsheets but I'm more confused now than when I started. I'm 32 and own a single-family house which we originally lived in for a couple of years but now rent out. We bought it 7 years ago for $340,000 with a 30-year mortgage at 4%. Our current cash payoff is $240,000 if we were to pay off now.
