.- Someone talked about crime and hard tenants (who don't pay - usually inherited ones)- not many economic opportunities to attract pool of people and boost area etcI'm looking at houses on both sides (Canada and USA) US, they are cheaper like 731 Pine Ave, Niagara FAlls NY 14301 going for $270,000 (5/2, 2700sq ft) but on Can side, it's like houses are in the US$400K - smaller sq ft.

The last time I checked, they said Airbnb decide this category and I cannot request it. good luck it will be incredible boost.

The market does offer lower priced investment opportunities and higher cashflow returns, with ongoing revitalization projects like the DORA boosting appreciation potential.

None of those areas have excess housing.I question if housing is going to see a boost in value over the near term due to not having enough housing to accommodate the displaced fire victims.  

But IRS allows an IRA to be invested in anything except life insurance and collectibles.

The tenant laws in New York make life as a property owner way harder. 

You’re in a great position with a property that’s appreciated significantly, a low-interest mortgage, and clear goals to boost cash flow and transition into full-time investing.

Since I am entering this field in the latter part of my life (63), I do not want 'long-term' investments as I am not interested in making millions, but having enough for the remainder of my life to 'Vive La Vida Loca'!

It really does depend on timing of being put in service, that bonus it qualifies for (if any) and the life cycle of the elements that can be advanced.
