Dont suppose I'll get it...again, i've never done a real estate deal other than purchasing my house over a decade ago. without experience there's just so much i dont know.networking is a sore spot, i'm just not a people person. thats one reason i look at real estate. since i plan to have any properties managed, i wont have to deal with a lot of people. i imagine you'll scold me for this but whatever. i'm never going to be a people person and thats set in stone. it's something i have to work around not overcome.It seems I always get to the same point with real estate where I take the safe and easy route and leave my $ invested in the stock market. the thing that appeals to me about re, and i'm more focusing on rentals, non b&b, is steady income with an appreciating underlying asset. whereas the market is up and down. i can get totally safe 5% from short term bonds, but i know my principle is withering away from inflation (i dont believe the gubt bogus 3% cpi). with a rental house i could get 5% rental income, and the house will appreciate ~5% a year. that's a huge difference. the other thing i'm somewhat interested in is flips, but same story there, i just dont have the knowledge, and all the reading this forum or watching yt's in the world only gets to the surface as it's all airy generalities.

We are currently renting and our landlord has given us a great rent rate and we ideally want to focus on long-term rentals and utilizing BRRR for our portfolio.Our current market we live in is Las Vegas, NV which is a great city for growth, but it's been tough right now to find any cash flowing properties within our loan amount from our NV lender.

I don't find it "fun" as others say to rent out houses you've never seen and will never live or vacation in. I

It looks like there's a mandatory capital call forthcoming in a project I'm an LP in. I

A cpa would have to weigh in. I

But your statement about people selling before "more regulations lick in" is inaccurate.Quote from @Christy Flora: So, here's the thing I've found.
