Outside of that, real estate is far more predictable and reliable with the greatest returns of any investment there is.  

The use predictive analytics to determine who might sell, they create social ads and online marketing to target them, and they get clicks. 90-95% of these appointments are really for investors because they are built around sell your house quickly and then an agent shows up and tries to list it.

Hi Erin, I work for a property management company in Milwaukee, Wi, and here are some thoughts to consider: Vacation rentals- Pros: Higher Income Potential due to tourists, Flexibility, Shorter Tenant CommitmentCons: Inconsistent Income depending on demand and time of year, More Management Required, Wear and Tear because of constant turnoverLong-term rentals- Pros: Stable Income, Lower Management Effort, Predictable Expenses, Less Wear and TearCons: Long-term commitment (this can be pro or con depending on the tenant), Market Dependence The choice between vacation rentals and long-term rentals largely depends on your financial goals, management capacity, and the property’s location.

Hearing peoples opinions on BP on where to invest is like asking someone their favorite football team. 

Daniel,Seems you do have a lot, it seems there are a lot of "predictions" to values / costs increasing in there, one thing i saw is that you have loan Interest payments/ cost increasing every year too, if you have a fixed loan those costs will not increase, they will decrease and your Principal payments will increase.

But I predict MUCH better.

There seems to be a strong desire to embrace and maintain the ethnic/cultural character of this neighborhood and precluding predicted gentrification in the area with the development of the MetroHealth complex. 

All my rates will (I predict) go up at the 5 yr date.

No one can predict where the rates will be in the future, but if it is a significant buy down, it could take a while for market rates to catch up. 

The hard part is looking forward to the future to predict your actions and when they may occur.
