Real Estate out performs the S&P by a multiplication factor, literally. 

But the index funds outperform 7.375% in the long run.

Even the best money managers have been unable to do this over an extended period of time.I regularly hear people say that over a xx-year period, stocks outperform real estate.

<<caveat though - once inflation is considered, it isn't the greatest overall return - real estate market appreciation still likely way out performs it - but while we wait for a property, it works for us.  

This friendship is already destroyed.When you do finally get them out, perform a walkthough and send them a bill for every repair that you do.

I would argue market and submarket dynamics are far riskier than property class, i.e. a C property from amenities standpoint in an A area will, all else being equal, out perform an A asset in C market.Was the property that you invested in that lost money marketed as a C property?  

In the Reno, NV area there are single family portfolios that are out performing the multifamily. 

If you buy a property that checks the STR boxes and markets incredibly well, and you hire top notch STR management or self manage at a high level, you will out perform 80%-90% of the STR's on the market and have huge cash flow.

Q3: I am curious to know, have your rental properties outperformed the S&P 500 or REITs and worth the hassle?

And I'm buying another commercial property that will generate me about $3500/month cash flow NNN.My GA rental definitely outperformed my OH ones, at least in the past 4 years.I love N GA so far - lower property tax, more population economic growth.
