Focus on the lifestyle and property amenities.

In the meantime, the situation is extremely frustrating for many LPs who, like yourself, seem to be losing a lot of money, while supporting the apparently lavish instagram lifestyles flaunted by many sponsors who brag about how their time is worth a bajillion dollars an hour and fly private to exotic locations.

I simply just don't trust the news these days and have to look at my own markets and stats.I think the part everyone is conscious of is we saw a post-covid peak that in theory will not return, and we made a gradual return to 2019 levels.What I do think is true, per AirDNA, is that ocean and mountain markets saw the biggest increase, and now the biggest fall.... and now what's happening is many people, particularly older families who tried Airbnb for the first time, are realizing they never want to stay in a hotel again. 

Financial freedom requires maintaining your lifestyle for life.

So it's not a 9-5 thing for me, it's a lifestyle. 

Nowhere is wholesaling the attractive “lifestyle” promoted by people with something to sell you.  

not everyone's lifestyle or family situation permit but it's a great way to get started.and i agree with the others... 100% leverage is very risky. 

I now have 10 rental houses, am looking to move to small apartment buildings and am a basic member at Lifestyles Unlimited, which I also find to be worth the minimal membership fee.  

This really isn't a question of what's the "best" way to invest, it's more what works well for you, your resources and lifestyle. 

If you have a high rent and no rent control, without knowing anything else about your financial situation, lifestyle etc.
