You have to find a balance between gowing healthy and growing fast.

And I have other, cash flowing properties, with debt on them, but I also have healthy reserves that continue to grow while I am adding to them on a regular basis, preparing to acquire more!

Avoid industries that are obviously at risk, but remember no industry is immune to competition and innovation.

Despite that a construction to perm loan would be not much over $1,000 a month (with 2 Co-Founders with a credit score well above 750, and a healthy combined income) banks see it as "high risk" 5.

I have healthy cash reserves.6.

Your only location requirements/desires are as follows: Must have warm weather 9+/mo out of the yearMust have good - strong job market (UI Developer/Nurse)Must have relatively low cost of living (unlike the Bay Area)Should have healthy real estate market (rentals and flips)Here are your long-term objectives/goals: Purchase at least 10 acres of land to build a small house and start a small permaculture farm Become financially independent in 10 yearsEstablish the financial foundations for generational wealthGiven this financial standing, these location requirements/desires and these long-term objectives/goals, and a year to plan/move: Where do you move to and why?

Same to you, stay safe and healthy.  

That will allow me to use the most precious commodity, time, for healthy and important things. 

I suspect most landlords here, myself included, view blanket efforts to halt the rule of law and the protection of basic property rights with healthy skepticism if not outright anger.

But if you buy at the right price you might not get appreciation per say but you may get the market just returning to a stable healthy price.
