As far as I know the prices have continued to be stable or go up.

Think of it as the rough sketch that helps you figure out where you want to swim: Omaha’s stable single-family rentals with decent cash flow and strong appreciation potential, the sizzling up-and-coming pockets around San Antonio where off-market deals still lurk if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, or those tight-knit Chicago neighborhoods where a trusted investor-friendly agent can point you to contractors who won’t ghost you mid-reno.

So I have a 64" pocket in a new 1bd cabin build that can fit an integrated vertical twin murphey bed in the living room with side dressor or a row of book shelfs + cab.

Regardless, the market has slowed, but prices remain relatively stable. 

You’ve got a sizable asset with stable tenants, but the monthly overhead is making it feel heavier than it should.

I’m starting to lean more towards private lending as a way to get my toes wet and get my money working for me in a relatively stable way.I’m looking for educational resources or literature.

Profitable and stable are two words that have a negative correlation. 

Refinancing Options If you’re planning to hold the property long-term, refinancing the seller carry into a more stable, fixed-rate loan could give you more predictability.

Hell I can get an aged SHELF (not shell) company for $695 there and it was the EIN and all that. 

If you want a secure investment that gives you a stable return on your money for retirement, absolutely don't invest in real estate.
