I chose to invest in 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, due to its potential in a growing market.

The binary choice was not a good one, but I wouldn't anticipate some remarkable improvement of fiscal responsibility or operational efficiency in this second act.Before I post, remember all - you can talk policy but not denigration of parties/personalities.I think your points are well stated.

@Mickey Petersen Like what @Alex Olson said, a 1031 exchange is a great way to diversify and further grow your RE portfolio.

Every one just has to remember "We accept ALL applications"

An analysis of the data also shows that the city north of Austin grew 10.6% year-over-year, making it the fastest-growing city of at least 50,000 people.

It does however give you a degree of independence to choose what you want to do.As your portfolio grows you'll also feel the weight of future capex responsibility more, which ironically points you to growing more cash flow through more real estate.The other issue is that you are chasing a moving goalpost.

Remember egress/ingress are the real big deals here, both people getting out and firemen getting in.I would pass.

I want this to be an open discussion where we can all share resources and insights to help brokers build and grow their businesses in 2025.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

I do agree that I think they're having growing pains, but unfortunately that isn't the kind of thing I can afford to just accept when I'm choosing a company to go with.
