If a fire restoration company came out to inspect after the fire they would have deemed whether the structure was safe or not for repairs and to continue living in.Always good to do your own due diligence, but I personally think the plumbing and potential water issues pose a higher risk.

Jason these problem can be visualized like these:a) Cheap Money regimeb) Expensive money regime (post 22) Then we do have always options for investment :a) liquid cash investmentsb) stock / bond portfolioc) Equity residential investmentd)Debt investment There's recent survey from Citigroup that showing a family office has different strategy when financial condition is moving from cheap money to expensive money regime, for example, during 2010-2022 cheap money regime, it's not difficult to be agressive in equity investment (such as buying rental) as spread is huge (6-8%) ; but during expensive money era, like someone also mentioned above, the spread is only 2-3% now.I can always generate 8-9% "almost safely" with public interval fund or BDC while equity is also offerig something like 8-9% IRR, so between debt investment and equity investment , is not big of spread.

With that being said, I’m pretty good at talking myself out of business for the benefit of others and have done so for the last seven years when it comes to my turnkey company.So I might as well do it again.I know we all love real estate as it’s a safe haven.Real estate is an asset that you can touch, see and feel and it makes sense in so many ways.But for those that can swallow the swings of the stock market, it is my opinion that you should be investing in stocks right now, not necessarily real estate.
