Real estate investing is largely about the choices we make as owners.Over the years, I’ve worked with many teams and companies, and I always recommend SDIRA Wealth because they build the properties in the best markets, and consistently excel in meeting my top five criteria.  

Note: This could happen NOT by your choice with a layoff.

Yes they can use a realtor of their choice.

So, an area might have been D class 20 years ago and is C class today in terms of what the property condition, crime etc show you BUT if the tenants still stigmatize the area in their mind then mostly D class tenants will be applying there because they have less choices.

Artwork is often personal choice, but you definitely need some stuff there.

If you added in the cash you should have to protect against contingencies, the actual return goes down (or the risk sykrockets, your choice)- If the $300K properties cashflow, definitely a better bet. 

It’s not a binary on/off choice.

There are more details here if interested.I will not tell anyone to do or not to, that is a choice that you will have to make and also it is a choice to work it or not, like any system.

Beautiful renovation and design choices!

It won't be as promising; the saturation of this thematic investing choice has defeated it's purpose.
