I just invested in 3 different Data centers, they are too high risk for most people to consider, especially in retirement.

Any resources to find more data on midterm renters?

House hacking is one of the most risk-averse residential investment strategies and will allow you to test the waters and strategically plan from there. 

With the expansive reach of online real estate data, more people can see more details about a property. 

Hey @Kelly Stanton,Like Cassidy rightfully mentioned, you should look for lenders that are flexible with rental history requirements and use AirDNA data for short-term rentals like your Airbnb.

According to the US census data Los Angeles, CA county population declined 3.5% in the last few years as you can see here:(Data from April 2020 - July 2023).But Real Estate prices went up in that period 25% according to Zillow (From $665,868 to $834,772).Rents went up 18% (From $2,380 to $2,827).How that can be?

You could pull out foreclosure data for the county and doorknock...

You get the benefit of 2 years+ of appreciation, tax free gains, protect yourself from buying in a crappy neighborhood because it looks good on paper - you're going to live there...the best test for a good investment location is if it is a desirable place to live - and your risk of running out of cash is lower because you can take your time.

In my tests, at least, a service contract like a listing would automatically end, but a purchase contract should be honored by the estate unless the court decides it shouldn’t.
