The ultimate victory for a real estate investor is to acquire a property that both cashflows AND is in an area where appreciation should occur (whether it be quickly or steadily over time). However, for those that invest in real estate, would you still buy a property that cashflowed out-of-the-box, but had a history (and future) of not appreciating very much (if at all)?
The reason I ask is that I found a 4-plex that will cashflow the day I buy it, but the region has not been good for appreciation nor does it look like it will (at least in the near future). I can get it without almost no money out of my pocket (80% bank loan + 20% seller carry - I'll just have to pay closing costs and inspection). My calculations show it to CF $350/mo on the low end and probably more like $450-$500/mo.
