There are several different methods you can use.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @William Taylor: Hey there BiggerPockets members, I'm an upcoming agent practicing running numbers on different duplexes and investment properties I'm seeing on the market, here to share another report I'm working on for feedback.

If enacted, these changes would bolster real estate valuations and enhance returns for investors.How Real Estate Outperforms Under Different ScenariosIf Interest Rates Rise (Higher Inflation):Treasuries: Medium- to long-term bonds lose value, potentially resulting in negative returns.Real Estate: Higher inflation leads to rent growth, boosting net operating income (NOI) and offsetting the impact of higher borrowing costs.If Interest Rates Fall (Cooling Economy):Treasuries: Bonds appreciate in value, improving returns.Real Estate: Lower rates drive cap rate compression, significantly increasing property valuations and returns for investors.Conclusion: Asymmetric Risk-Reward in Real EstateWhile Treasuries offer a safe haven, they also come with limited upside and potential interest rate risks for medium- to long-term maturities.

They're basically two different skill sets and it's fallacious thinking to assume you can do one because you can do the other.

I'm excited about your presence.. are you open to different property types if the math works out?

I’m currently in the save all of money phase, I want a couple years of solid savings and some education before I get started, I’m 33 and have been working construction my whole life so this will be a much different career path for me.

I think I was fortunate to find a roll outside of real estate to diversify my income across two different sectors of the economy. 

It can be used to monitor markets, filter results based on lots of different criteria & even includes annual revenue numbers that you can work backwards to see how certain markets/properties are performing.

I imagine the whole process is simpler but can anyone tell me how different it is when you don't borrow the rehab costs?
