It is not "one over the other" but its more about having a diverse portfolio.

It’s great to have someone with your level of experience and diverse background here.

I”m sure the ROW agent is evaluated/promoted on how much he can get done for the city at the lowest cost.

With Canton, Akron, Youngstown, and Cleveland all within 45 minutes of each other it’s a pretty big and diverse area. 

Real estate serves as the foundation, generating the income needed to reinvest in initiatives that preserve cultural heritage, create jobs, and support community growth.Diversified Value CreationReal Estate Portfolio: Profits from rental income, property flips, and value-add projects fuel the system.Trade Development: Integrating businesses like plumbing companies creates a pipeline for stable, high-paying careers while addressing labor shortages.Cultural Growth: Revenue is reinvested into programs that promote education, workforce development, and cultural preservation.

It might make more sense to just keep the rate, rent it out, save $30-35k, increase your income through a promotion or find another field and work for 2 years or more,  and buy another primary with a conventional loan. 

Its essentially in the longterm best interest of the property owner to ensure there is a non-compete clause in all leases; merely for the benefit of securing longterm relationships with the tenants.A diverse tenant mix can attract a wider audience and contribute to a more vibrant environment.

It may be hard to find unbiased advice on account of that.To me, it seems that his/their core competency is promotion and fund raising.

I joined BiggerPockets specifically to address this and to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and locations.

@Jay Check Are you a real account or is this just another promotion for a lying guru?
