Hey Matt and Denver,Thanks for this - the risk / reward perhaps isn’t there in Fort Worth for me to convert to PadSplit just yet.

Hey TylerI'd say it's important to weigh the risks and rewards when considering a house hack, especially in a market like Denver.

However, longer-term bonds (1-5+ years) are subject to interest rate volatility:If rates rise, bond values drop, potentially leading to negative net returns.If rates fall, bonds appreciate, but gains are capped by their fixed coupon rates.While Treasuries provide stability, they offer limited upside and carry hidden risks for medium- to long-term maturities.Why Real Estate Is a Stronger Option in Today’s MarketMultifamily real estate, particularly value-add properties, presents an asymmetric risk-reward profile that Treasuries simply cannot match.

The higher the risk (which usually means higher costs) the higher the reward should be.
