Thomas, That is like saying there is only one real esate class you should invest in.

Hey, we purchased a fixer upper as our primary in 2017 & have renovated it ever since. 

They buy a fixer-upper below market price.2.

It's not the data or the asset classes; it's you.You are often your biggest roadblock.Considering this and looking at your journey differently, you can break the stalemate.If you are new and want advice, you must be open to ALL advice, not just the kind that supports your first idea or asset class.

.: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Dana YobstBlows my mind how he is out there still teaching classes and going on as nothing happened but it sounds like these debts are not getting substantially paid down.As many of us know, one of the main reasons he's able to continue on is with the help of this other self proclaimed criminal https://weclosenotes.com/ep-nc-03-protecting-yourself-using-a-corporate-veil-with-aaron-young-from-laughlin-associates/ Using a remote entity to limit liability is a life blood of insuring investment into all types of job creating, life saving and life improving business development.  

In your case looking to larger assets where you can effeciently cost segregate to gather bonus depreciation would be a smart move.Appreciation - Where in the country is the asset class you like growing or going to be growingAmortization of the loan - What sector or even region if you look locally for funding, is going to offer the most favorable lending so that less goes to interest expense and more to pay down of principle.Have fun with a spread sheet comparing these 4 returns from your investment with the type and location of assets you find attractive.

Akron is not LL friendly, they were the first in NE Ohio to pass a rental registration ordinance (in the 90s), in 2021 added source of income as a protected class - so you can no longer rule out S8 applicants, and passed STR registration last October (and nearly a year later still haven't been able to enact anything).  

Thanks Erika, any information you can share on the lawsuit to help make it a class-action lawsuit?

There are some other dynamics that also will likely play a factor in making the situation great for investors...such as runup in home prices and interest rates probably created a permanent renter class of society.
