This 5-Year miniseries is all about reflection. Taking a look back to see how properties perform from the very beginning to five years in. Jenny sat down and looked at the numbers for this single-family home in Colorado Springs, it is clear that while expenses might rise a bit, income does too. This is a great example of a simple rental property appreciating over time.
