not sure if you are familiar with basketball but it is alot like the spurs offense. meaning the system works if you trust the process. my uncle has everything set up. contractors, know how, experience, tenant screening. management. so i will integrate into his system and learn it to replicate it like Steve Kerr did for the WarriorsYes, I am - The Big Fundamental was a great power forward!

If appreciation is slow and steady, and no extra liquidity is available, the basic fundamentals of personal finance do catch up to this investor.

Starting small with multifamily properties is my ideal preference at the moment, as I focus on learning, growing, and immersing myself in as much information, data, and real-time experience as possible.As I build my investment portfolio, I could definitely see myself being interested in scaling up to larger acquisitions in the future, but for now, my focus is on mastering the fundamentals and starting small.

I'm an investor here in Columbus OH myself and have seen the city's solid and steady growth with strong economic fundamentals driving the market like major companies moving here (Meta, Intel, Google, Amazon, etc), job growth, and population growth.

.: Quote from @Albert Hepp: I think the fundamental question buyers, sellers, and agents have to answer, is why do US consumers pay three times as much in commissions (5-6%) as other developed countries(1.5-2%)?

I believe that while it is a buyers market and renters market right now, these conditions will change within 5 years, because: - The long-term fundamentals that drive people to migrate to Florida remain unchanged, and a steady influx is a reasonable expectation. - Supply will abate. 2026 and 2027 will see less than half the deliveries nationwide of of 2024 and 2025, respectively, and I bet that is even more extreme in a market like Tampa.

You'll get to a point where you can say "no" to prospective owner clients who are not within your "buy box" per-say.There's been a lotttt of money dumped into PM to fundamentally change the experience.

The fundamental thing is also that in Asia and Middle East, the jobs & buying power of people have skyrocketed exponentially in the past 10yrs, much better than western countries today.

Scottsdale has such good fundamentals you want to hold for as long as you can, we have job growth, population growth, investment in infrastructure and low property taxes; these are all the things you want. 

Diversity is great, but the fundamentals for real property are too strong in my opinion.
