Have you done your due diligence outside of the financial aspect?

I have a large pool of handymen that cover every aspect.

all three are distinctly different in form and function.roofstock is more of a MLS type system highly automated representing civilian sellers by and large and some turn key companies will list their stock on Roofstock.. its pretty snazzy however after care is between you and the PM.Homeunion has some hybrid of turnkey marketing company in the same vane as Jason Hartman Maverick Norada etc.MI is what many consider the gold standard in turn key investing.. very deep experience in the space.. and control all aspects..

Second, if you look in other markets be sure to look into the long-term stability aspects of the city, the total number of units in the city, compare that to the total number of SFR.

The mental health aspect is making it very tricky.Help, please.

I am particularly interested in the buy and hold aspect of investing, but also recently have taken an interest in flipping.

Account Closed I'm maxing out on the pre-tax contribution amount every year, my employer matches 5% of my pay contribution, the markets would have to have an average loss of -15% every year for the next 25 years for me to end up with a balance that consist of just my payroll contributions.I think those numbers on the charts you're listing are for people working low wage jobs and probably contributing a few hundred dollars a month to their 401K plans, in that scenario putting 200-300 dollars a month away is something that will help but probably not going to be enough to live on in retirement.Like many have mentioned on here you have to be diversified with Real Estate and various aspects of the financial markets, If you're heavily positioned in one market or the other with no diversification you'll end up in the average pool of investors.

I would appreciate hearing from other lease option folks about how they explain this aspect of lease options.
