The areas you are looking in are a step below the most expensive so I have no doubt they are higher, but you are also looking at a small sample size when you only look at homes available for sale now.

I've had success simply informing the tenant that I plan to involve a collections agency as a next step if they don't pay what they owe.

We try to go 1 step further than the national builders we are competing with.

One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

To take your point a step further, not all businesses are sellable.

Step inside and be captivated by the spacious open-concept layout, perfect for entertaining.

Appreciate the actionable next step. 

I don’t think arbitrage is worth it - it’s kind of like the baby step into STRs that hook people into taking all the risk and doing all the work and missing out on 2 of the 3 reasons to invest in real estate: tax benefits and appreciation.much much better to buy and own your own STRs.  

I will keep showing our worth, it will definitely be a step up for them regardless of the loss of reviews.

I’d love to hear from others who have reached a comfortable place in real estate:What’s your next step once you’ve “made it”?
