The real estate prices are relatively low, compared to the cities & more touristy areas, but the rental returns are good, with a low vacancy rate.

We certainly have found some deals that would reduce our living expenses compared to renting.

What are your thoughts on its potential to deliver financial freedom quickly compared to traditional real estate investments?

If I threw the money into SPY, it would be a 104% gain compared to walking away with an 80% gain after fees/commissions.

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Commercial properties can be lucrative, but the financing/underwriting required from lenders is generally more "conservative" relative to residential and usually have higher interest rates (unless you have a "rock star", long-term commercial tenant in place) and generally require more equity from the borrower compared to residential.

There is usually not much that compares with what we offer, so we only compete apples to oranges, so incentives are not a good tool for us.The types of tenants we want (multi year) also respond better to an adjustment in rent than an incentive.

Managing the operation myself could save money and provide better control compared to working with out-of-state properties.

Looking to invest with Praxis, but wanting to compare their current offering with a couple more.
