What is vastly different between US and other developed country area) the tendency of suing between people or enterprise, this create almost every industry has noticeable legal fee/lawyer fee when they conducted a business and punish the consumer at the end.b) the power of private enterprise to create regulation and influencing goverment decision which at the end creates oligopoly structures which dominate how the government react to particular industry (well you can say lobbyst).c) the dependencies to technology (without good understanding of its technology)d) the overcomplicated tax and building code , which at the end creates more profit  to big corporation only.These are the fair point in my own thinking why commision is high , especially #2, it's just the "realtor cartel" push that agenda to public and gov ; and since gov is part of private enterprise too, they just accept it LOLAmerica is one big giant corporation executed by Exxon,Apple,Microsoft, Blackrock, Blackstone, Shell , Lockheed and AIG  whole industrial powerhouse LOL :-) what you see in TV if they seems fighting is just a drama lol

Your decision on whether to investigate other investment prospects or reinvest in your current property can be influenced by the results of this appraisal.Hope this helps!

In this post type of concern  I ask my circle of influence (bankers, insurance, contractors, fellow storage owners) their perspective on the economy and also their sphere of influence.  

With or without science, my experience is valid enough for me and has and will continue to influence where and how I invest in Real Estate.

I am not sure if it's just a general trend of people going offline en masse, or a sign of waning interest in wholesale discussion since a lot of bad rep is associated with it.

We own 3 Airbnbs in Fresno and have noticed that the demand wanes in the winter months compared to summer. 

Here are some key points to consider:Accessibility: Residential properties are often more accessible to individual investors, especially those starting out with smaller capital.Tenant Stability: While turnover can occur, residential leases tend to have shorter terms, offering more flexibility if you want to adjust rents or change tenants.Market Liquidity: Generally, residential properties are easier to buy and sell due to higher demand from individual homebuyers and investors alike.Emotional Appeal: Homes and apartments can have a strong emotional appeal to buyers and renters, which can influence demand and pricing stability.Purchasing: Residential real estate will require a down payment of at least 10% of the purchase price. 

Looking at what's out there in our market is discouraging.Have you ever read "How to win friends and influence people"?

If not, we dont really need to get into petty trivial debates or negativity and are not influenced by that. 

Safety and quality of life can/will be influenced by your tenant.
