No problems with rust but do have to deal with hard water; they have a chemical treatment called a pillow that takes care of that.

Do you want to own your own real estate like an apartment or retail center and create a side business?

@Tom Rairdon If you’ve owned your short-term rental (STR) for over a year, it likely qualifies for long-term capital gains (LTCG) treatment, taxed at lower rates (0%-20%) compared to your 33% ordinary income bracket.

Proximity to Major Northeastern CitiesBuffalo’s location near major urban centers like New York City and Boston makes it an attractive alternative for buyers seeking more affordable housing without sacrificing access to urban amenities.5.

And because it’s a logistics hub (FedEx HQ, major distribution centers, and growing industries), rental demand stays strong.I’ve been in Memphis my whole life and have spent over two decades helping investors navigate this market and build profitable rental portfolios here.

Buy in a market not too far away, 30 to 1 hr from a decent city center where values are reasonable and a city push out with help your rent and appreciation. 

But either way, it is a fairly substantial number of States and many of which have large population centers.

They are pure GARBGE. 3 months after they issued my premium I still get calls from their clowns to sign something and that insurance is not bound....I dont believe they are operating a insurance company, likely a scam artist to be honest  Sounds like this is an issue with their call center/in-house agency? 

Are these better than MFH, Retail centers, SFH, I have my opinion, but I don’t know.  

Commercial Revenue Generating properties like office buildings, apartment buildings, retail centers, etc (banks call it "CRE" lending) are typically evaluated from their net operating income, not gross.
