In this part of the market cycle, newer vintage assets, median incomes of at least 50k, washer dryer hook ups, more two beds than ones, townhome style assets.When the broker showed us the deal we didn't have to waste time analyzing it.

George doesn't lend to my personal investment strategy at this point in the market cycle.

They are cheap, and will get cheaper in coming recession, as tourism to Vegas will decline, and they have superior growth and great management, that know what they are actually doingADC -(Agree Realty), they do what I do privately, but on a bigger scale, run by Joey Agree , very smart, they have excellent growth, multi-tenant, triple net retail, and grocery anchored Retail, they will benefit from massive secular tailwinds, as there has been under construction in retail for years, due to fear of E-commerce, higher construction costs/insurance costs, post GFC under financing-construction, etc, so existing inventory is commanding higher rents, we are bumping new leases by 7-11%, they will get this endogenous earnings growth for yearsthese should perform well over next 10 years, never buy anything in Real Estate for less than 10 years, to allow to go through cycles, and if you can buy in 401k/IRA so dividends can be re-invested tax freegood luck, you have to monitor your E-REITS like you would any other stock, closely, as they move with sentiment not just on NAV like private Real estate, so you can't just dose em w 200mg of propofol and walk away, not that you'd ever do that :)good luck

Now that I own rentals my debt cycles with winter fuel and sometimes remodels being put on a credit card.

@Henry LazerowHave patience. it's part of the market cycle.

As you're getting started, it's VERY easy to read an article on one thing, then see another strategy or market and get sucked in to a never ending cycle of shining object syndrome.Here are a few recommendations for getting started:1.

Fed's meeting earlier this  month to me tells me it's wrong, they know very well business life cycle is #1 agenda on 2024 but cannot state that right now.

I have to explain to the the capital requirements to acquire an asset like that which would be 60k+.For projects under 100k purchase acquired at 80% leverage you can figure needing 25k - 30k in liquidity for all the costs of the life cycle of the project.If you start acquiring in that 150k range, that lifecycle can go to 40k/50k needed to make sure you can handle the down payment, closing costs, holding costs, any miscellaneous costs that pop up and then still have a cushion in the account cause you never wanna be down to you last dollar.One of the first questions I ask new clients is what kind of capital do they have behind them, because that number will determine market and asset class. 

If you have been through cycles you know what to look for.

Then they will also be unprofitable and they will sell them, it is a vicious cycle and there’s simply too many STR‘s in the Poconos right now, the demand isn’t there and basically no one is making any profits off STR right now in the Poconos, they’re basically all losing money month over month on STREven right now in peak Summer season, most of my friends places are barely booked: they have low occupancy rates, and when they are booked, it’s only because they had to lower their prices extremely low like $100 per night.
