However, down the road in your property ownership, you will most certainly need to be able to deal with structurally imperfect properties and it would be best to start learning somewhere.

There are other benefits that make me personally lean towards real estate as opposed to stock.Tax benefits - Usually the tax benefits are better the more you leverage.Cash flow - Stocks may pay dividends, but nowhere near the level of returns I get from rents.Ability to buy at a discount - Because houses are not liquid assets and there is imperfect information in the market, it is not hard to buy at a 10-15% discount meaning that you buy a 100k house for 85-90k.

I know this is imperfect but it is better than nothing.2.

Here's the thing though: imperfect action is better than no action.

YES...This is called real estate investing and imperfection among all things.It happens.I stress the importance or building a large portfolio so you don't feel the impact of vacancy/repairs as much as you do when you own 1 or 2 properties.If the plan is to only own 1 or 2 properties, they don't even invest.You don't have to buy/build a large portfolio with us, just build a large portfolio in general.It's because of reasonable and understanding investors like you mate that have still kept us in the game.Otherwise we would have "wrapped up the laptop" and instead of offering an awesome service like we do, just built a large portfolio for ourselves and lived happily ever after heheWe don't NEED to do what we do, we WANT to.Big difference.Speak and see you soon mate

An eggshell finish will be more forgiving when it comes to imperfections on your walls, and is durable and easy to clean.

And even with a data supported rebuttal, it didn't make a difference.But, on the other hand, those imperfect situations can also create opportunity, since you are kinda setting the bar for new build units in that urban area.Good Luck!

But, it is just those imperfect markets and deals that may have hidden value that others' have difficulty recognizing.

The other thing I'll mention is that LVP is of course more sensitive to imperfections in the subfloor than carpet, which has by far been my largest issue to this point, and you may have some of the same things going on with your plywood subfloors.  

So while it's imperfect, Airbnb's also the behemoth in the room that we all have to deal with.
