Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

I would tell people today that if you buy a primary residence expect to stay in that home for atleast five years, especially with a FHA loan which has lower down payment as the current forecasts for home appreciation or very low which with closing costs on the buy and sell, it will take several years to have equity in the property and enough to be able to sell, so that is something also to consider.

He prefers to stay in his comfort zone rather than risk feeling inadequate or rejected in a relationship that would challenge him to grow.By creating a narrative that vilifies attractive women, Jake shields himself from the discomfort of confronting his insecurities.This is very similar to how people feel about building a business, investing in real estate, starting a new hobby, or creating new relationships.

Many people get bored after a week or two and won't want to stay longer as there are hardly any cities and not much happening and there's so much jungle you can look at in a day (it's a great place for quiet retirees).

Eventually we will pass that responsibility on to someone on our leadership team too.So the route we chose is definitely not passive, but it also made us more comfortable with the investment. 

A reliable tenant stays for many years, pays the rent on schedule, and takes good care of the property.Reliable tenants are the exception, not the norm.

Get out of your comfort zone.

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

Personal Circumstances: Consider your comfort level with debt and risk.

Interview a few PMs, ensure they align with your goals, and stay involved by reviewing monthly reports.
