.; many RE investors have comparatively longer time horizons, and I would assume that most RE investors have a lower tolerance for risk).I'm a RE investor, and don't have any crypto, but I have plenty of friends who hold a lot of crypto, and we've discussed crypto endlessly...At the risk of sounding like a luddite, even after years of discussions and reading countless articles, I still don't feel like I have a good understanding of crypto.  ...and frankly, I'm skeptical of people who claim to have a thorough understanding of it (yet, there are no shortage of self-proclaimed "experts" who describe crypto with the confidence of someone predicting a sunrise!)

Looking forward to watching your journey and assisting with any out of state investing on your horizon!

It’s a bit more boom and bust than the rest of the country.throwing out a number here, but I’d be willing to bet 75%+ of STR owners either bought well, bought with a long term view, or enjoy personal use and this don’t really care about the next few years.I mean, pick your asset class, shame on anyone who tried to get rich quick on a short term time horizon.

The critical distinction between cap rates and discount rates lies in their time horizon.

finding properties on Zillow that you never see in person, putting 25% down and hoping people you've never met handle everything for you... not a great plan.and yes, you will need a long time horizon for a portfolio to actually generate cash flow buying at todays prices and rates - 10+ years. 

Honestly you’re not gonna cash flow pretty much anywhere in the region and to be honest you can “house hack” a rental basically you could rent a room in a house, the biggest reason to buy is over time, the appreciation plus locked in payment looks better over time, frankly that time horizon is about 5 years on average right now, if you expect to be in the region for the next 5+ years buy something I’d probably prioritize buying something your comfortable in for the medium term than “cash flow” which your not gonna find regardless with these rates. 

Here's why:Quick Turnaround: Fix and flips typically have a shorter investment horizon compared to long-term rentals.

If that isn't in whatever town you live, then broaden your horizons.

You could have something make more money in a 3 year horizon but you need your return in 6 or 12 months etc.Do you have an address of the property for a Google street view to see how it is positioned on the road and in the market? 

Each one has exciting new projects on the horizon, like a minor-league baseball stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina, entertainment districts in Huntsville, Alabama and Alpharetta, Georgia, and even economic development, like electric vehicle manufacturing in Bowling Green, Kentucky.FULL STORY
