. ;-) There is nothing false wiih what @Henry Clark said.Commercial real estate is broad - Office space, self-storage, Farm, Data centers, residential properties above 4 units, etcIt can be true that one part of commercial real estate is suffering while others is thriving.

. - Your portfolio will suffer:(You want a PMC that has great systems in place, including a great portal where you can keep tabs on eveything.You will also need to manage your PMC on a regular basis.

Try to charge them and suffer the consequences.

If I put all of my eggs in one basket (Florida in this case), paid off property and a hurricane blows everything away, FEMA is nowhere to be found and the insurance companies take years to pay what little claims they actually do pay, I suffer through it in a blown out house.

Investing is different from speculating, in that it’s data driven and therefor predictable and you have factors that play in that covers your downside and strengthen your chance of upside. 

I am guessing they probably raised $15-25M from investors for the deal, so while the bank would still be covered investors would appear to collect maybe 10-20 cents on the dollar if they were to liquidate.if that's the case then I don't see buying one year really does anything unless I am missing something ? 

They will usually want to see you have the capital for closing costs and some "reserves", meaning they want you to have a few months left over to cover any surprises.

- Renting it Out: The likely rent I'd get in this area will cover half my mortgage payments at the moment- Add Square Footage: Taxes will likely go up significantly- Build an ADU: Overall ROI will likely not offset much since it'll still be counted as value tied to the one house- Selling Off Land: Sits on .5 acre that I might be able to sell.

I was criticizing Airbnb for not immediately covering the cost.
