Real estate is arguably the most illiquid.Quote from @Dylan Speer:The FED actually said yesterday that rates will remain elevated through 2023 and that they will evaluate cutting rate hikes in the start of 2024.

First, even an STR that isn't rental arbitrage may in some cases be reported on a Schedule C rather than a Schedule E depending on whether you provide "substantial service".In the case of rental arbitrage, I believe the best and arguably only acceptable choice is Schedule C. 

This is not an opinion, this is not arguable, and this is just DATA.

So yes it works out well on the money end BUT I also have more control over the (arguably) worst part about running a rental.

So arguably on a post-tax basis (which is what matters most) and to U.S. investors...real-estate blows away the stock market.But again, I personally prefer to diversify into both.

At the time I arguably paid fair market value for a house that still needed some lipstick and work before it was ready to make money.

I can imagine a complicated mechanism that would produce an arguably valid 1031 strategy...but it almost certainly would create more problems than it solves.  

Arguably, a PM company is going to have these trades available at a cheaper rate (theoretically) due to scale, but the PM company is also probably going to mark it up, so it ends up costing about the same.

At the moment, I see no compelling reason to buy rentals (arguably at the top of the market) that return less than the short-term treasury bill alternative.

Buying in your name, keeping the mortgage in your name and then transferring the property to an LLC arguably could invalidate the LLC.
