But with the midterm I did not have to worry about turnovers, scheduling the cleans, and stocking the home.

But my friend is selling some stocks and was told that if he invests it in real estate he won’t be taxed.

In this post, I will explore the historical impact of the election results on the housing market, if any, and share my view of the current election impact.Historically, U.S. investors have seen similar annual stock market returns regardless of which political party is in power.

Our team works with a lot of out of state and out of country investors and most state that Pittsburgh is one of the best markets they invest in due to the more predictable nature of our market (we don't have the bubbles that many of the larger cities do in regards to housing surges and bursts).

Then there's the "Wall Street vs Main Street" concept where one can have more control of real estate versus stock & bond market investing.

And those property taxes in Texas can be a real game-changer, especially without any cap, making it tough to predict long-term expenses.

Can you tell me about any pitfalls you didn’t predict or anything you wish you knew before you started?

I would consider investing in stocks and index funds to be passive.

I don't understand enough about it to know if them stocking up on single-family and small multi-family properties in the Denver area, at the current prices, is a good initial play that will hold up.

Set up some bunks and a coffee maker, stock the fridge with some muffins and eggs and offer up as a fishing camp?
