I'm continuing to run my numbers assuming values will just keep up with inflation, and if I end up buying something then any extra appreciation would just be icing on the cake. 

Tenant perspective: When I moved in to my last rental, I noticed 2 issues right away: 1 - the freezer was not working (I would fill ice trays at night and they'd still be liquid in the morning); and 2 - there were some cracked/loose tiles on the bathroom floor.

Food fun and exercise, I play hockey 2-3 times per week.

In places like this, you should be able to find cash flow positive properties with enough work and appreciation would just be icing on the cake.

When you have a place like Indianapolis that already has a thriving market for both flips and holds the prospect of Amazon is just the icing on the cake.

You should have mitigated your damages by buying either a mini fridge or even a cooler with some ice.

I am renting out some open space for stockpiling shingles and roof wrap, ice and snow guard, drip edge, coil nails, and plastic caps. 

Invest for cash flow first, tax advantages are second, pay down of loan is third (increase equity = over time) and appreciation is just icing on the cake.

No, but I bought a commercial ice machine, and I’m almost halfway done lining my properties with Yeti coolers.  

I would ask my instructor about icing conditions.. and he would say..
