Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) fix & flip investment in Apple Valley.

@James G. as long as you are comparing apples to apples in terms of the location then a duplex will generally out perform a single family home over the long haul.

When Quibi debuted at number three on Apple’s App Store in April (try saying that five times), industry insiders thought Jeffery Katzenberg may have once again struck gold.

I think it's for the exact reason you've identified - apples vs oranges.

They used to say someone with a bachelor's made 1 million more over their life..bs stat since they are comparing apples and oranges, i.e. smarter people go to college.

In my opinion, for one the companies that make the largest percentage of the stock market (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon etc) are currently thriving and this will continue.I know a lot of people lost a lot of money in 08-09 but that is likely because they were speculating or sold when they should have held.To counter your points I know investors who rode that recession through and lost zero money.

This will give you a more apples to apples comparison.

Apple Bananas, Plantains, Coconuts, papaya, Starfruit, dragon fruit, limes/oranges/grapefruit, Avocados, Cacao (you can eat the pod itself, versus just the chocolate), Soursop, Custard Apple and others planted last year, starting to take off with the rainy season. 

Section8 does not necessarily equal bad tenants, just the chances to catch a bad apple is much higher.I don’t rent to Sect8 anymore mostly because by the time they’re done with all their bureaucracy and inspections I already have a cash paying person moved in.

I am fairly confident that it shouldn’t be too big of a problem though because I am looking to hold for several years and with Apple, Amazon and Tesla all coming I think that the growth should help me sell around that time.
