The quicker cash flow may allow you to scale quicker if that is what you want while the better appreciation could increase your net worth more over time.

I can't remember the exact amount of Duplexes on the street when I drove down but they say there about 8 to 9 units unoccupied. 

The whole thing was a major hassle but totally worth it in the end.

An amex point is worth 2 cents.  

I just don't think the squeeze is worth the juice.

Quote from @Anna Pugolovko: Hi, I am looking to buy a condo in Tulum and wondering if it worth it for a short term rental.

Plus, Zillow, Rentler and the other real estate platforms tend to have all sorts of unnecessary hoops to jump through for landlords, and I find a lot of their design very un-intuitive (I remember spending waaayyy too much time just trying to figure out simple things in Rentler).  ...why can't they make it easier?

Hello,I'm hoping to buy a single family home in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and put it up for rental.

My wife and I buy cars and keep them till they die so if you have this car 10+ years it will still be worth it.  

And for what it's worth folks, I'm not saying pick a side.
