The price to get in is obviously TOUGH, but if you have a pile of cash to play with, it's hard to argue with or beat the long term results of the cities with the best job markets and lifestyle (for those who can afford it) in the world.

More precisely, thanks for voicing my sub-conscious thoughts lol.

It's about always having enough money to maintain your lifestyle throughout your lifetime.

Cons - directing tri plex cash flow away from other investments for 4 years but also not impacting my W2 lifestyle. 

Also I don’t have a choice it’s real estate or nothing, financial freedom is getting achieved no matter what, I’m living the lifestyle I want and I need to retire my mom she’s 52 years old and has $2K in her retirement account.

Ultimately, it's about finding the investing strategy that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and area of expertise/skills/knowledge.

All of us consciously positioned ourselves here to find a stable community at an affordable price.  

I just don't like it when state starts to "worry" about adults making conscious decisions in their own lives.

Once you learn more about all these different ways then choose the best one that you believe will be the best fit for you that fits your lifestyle and will help you accomplish your goals.

Some are very fee conscious.
