Yes correct! I and my dad did not buy in 2014 thinking real estate markets were on average already 60% higher compared to 2011-12 levels. We finally bought in 2016, which was another 30% higher compared to 2014. Our properties now are worth 25% higher compared to what we purchased them. Its an up cycle which I and my dad has been too slow to recognize. Yet, we are glad that we took out very first step! Now, we have leverage to acquire more properties in the future.
