Family issues can be extremely emotional and volatile.

I also appreciate that electric prices are less volatile than gas prices.

However, I also think that rent range is volatile in Buffalo should/when the next market downturn take place, as the folks paying $1500-1800 may be looking for $1000-1200, but that is really tough to predict.

I see too much price volatility & uncertainty in REITs for them to have any appeal.

This kind of volatility can be overwhelming if not prepared for it.

Vacation rentals in proven vacation markets (read: not metro markets with volatile STR regulations) allowed me to scale faster than I would have using solely LTR income.

And as a landlord, I didn't see much volatility in rental income.

The goal is to be extremely conservative, analyze all risk factors, and make sure to put emotions to the side when considering a new deal. When looking at a deal, make sure to leave extra slack in your projected opera...

It's wise for investors to remember that in the short and intermediate term, investing is volatile.

@Cynthia GarciaOverall Columbus is better for long term appreciation and more stable growth while Cincinnati and Cleveland have higher cash flow but more volatility and lower growth rates.1.
