Every story I heard fascinated and inspired me.

I don't want to perpetuate any false dichotomies, but I've been fascinated by the psychology behind certain areas of this forum which is to purchase certain properties just on the fact that they provide cash-flow...and label investing for capital appreciation as nothing more than gambling.

I just came across an article titled, The Printer That Can Print A 2,500 Square Foot House In 20 Hours and was absolutely fascinated!

Opportunity to meet fascinating travelers!

I'm from a social work background and find the AL model fascinating.

Fascinating to see they didn't do it on this post, how refreshing?!!!

But, what go up sometimes go down, sometimes strongly, sometimes for long period, and it might happen that after 10 or 15 years when you wan't to cash out your rentals, the current market condition will be that their value did not appreciate, or maybe even decreased.I totally agree with your bottom line - I have read all thread from the beginning,  and it is fascinating to see how each one has a different point of view and strategy, and maybe this is what so amazing in REI.There are so many ways to make money in this investment niche.And indeed this is a great discussion allowing all to re-think about the different strategies which exist and allow them to verify that the path the are going in is the most suitable for them.Eran

But I do understand where he is coming from as there really is no tangible asset to cryptocurrencies (or stocks for that matter) compared to REI in addition to it's long long standing history, research, and studies, etc.That said, with what I now know and continue to learn about this fascinating and lucrative world of REI, majority of my investing will be here.

Fascinating from a psychological standpoint.  

I'm fascinated at how some people feel compelled to somehow make a discussion about them instead of solve the problem at hand.If the original poster Carol doesn't want pit bulls, communicate to the tenants that you are the new owner (aka, there's a new sheriff in town) and it's your policy not to permit dogs, or biting dogs, or dogs of certain breeds, or dogs that are named Fido, whatever.It's your property and you get to make the rules.
