There is going to be short term volatility You can always buy real estate, but you can't always sell, as we are experiencing now.

It prevents emotional knee jerk reactions to market volatility and world geo political events.

That includes recent sales as well as currently listed properties in the direct vicinity.Given there are so many distressed sales in Detroit on the same blocks as flips and nicely renovated homes, the Zestimate simply can't parse through the volatility of prices. 

That makes them inherently more volatile and they behave more like a motel than a mobile home park.  

In order to understand the city we must first know a little more about the State of North Carolina and how it differs from the rest of the country.North Carolina has a very low volatility with stable returns of your investment.North Carolina is worth the investment because of our high occupancy rates and a high demand for rental homes, the local real estate investors love the historically performance stability, specifically single family homes.North Carolina has very good reputable colleges and universities, that’s the reason a lot of people make their move to NC and want to just rent a house until they get acquainted with the area.Charlotte’s home prices compared to states up north are dramatically significant.

I agree, these can be a great way to get access to more real estate investments and/or diversify retirement portfolios away from more volatile or poorer performing assets.

How much monthly volatility / tenant turnover do you generally see?

Hey Corazon, right after college I sold most of my Bitcoin and Litecoin to buy my first rental property.It was a move from extreme volatility to stability, and I haven't looked back. 

Toledo’s median home list price of $200,000 is less than half the national average while price volatility has been muted compared to the wild fluctuations in much of the country.

@Christopher DeAraujo I am in the process of getting out of the business of paying for tenant heating given the volatility of oil prices and having seen 5/20 tenants put their heat up to 78 and keeping their windows open for fresh air when it was -20 degrees outside.
