Summary

Most real estate markets in America saw huge home price growth over the past five years. Ever since the pandemic, equity and appreciation have been slingshotted to new heights, with some housing markets having over FIFTY PERCENT home price appreciation in just a few years. Today, we’re touching on the four top appreciation markets in America, all of which saw massive price jumps over the past five years, and some are even still affordable! But, if you’re like most real estate investors, you’re screaming at your screen, “What about the cash flow? You can’t bet on appreciation!” Well, we’ve already read your mind as we get into a debate over whether or not appreciation SHOULD be accounted for before buying a property and whether or not it’s better than cash flow. Surprisingly, some of our appreciation-rich experts prefer cash flow, while our cash flow market investors prefer appreciation. Stick around as we dive into the top appreciation markets in America, which ones we’d invest in, which ones may be on a downward trend, and why many Americans love the mountains so much they secretly want to be ranchers instead of nine-to-five workers. In This Episode We Cover The top four appreciation and equity growth housing markets in America How work-from-home changed the housing landscape forever  Whether or not to underwrite for appreciation when analyzing your real estate deals The signs that your real estate market is about to experience explosive appreciation A cash flow vs. appreciation debate and the surprising choice most investors would make What you MUST do before you make an appreciation bet on a rental property or housing market And So Much More!
