@Teal Lambert I will be 100% transparent with my biases here.  

I find that most, if not all, (regardless of gender) are very friendly and willing to help here.Good luck

My goal is to identify common areas where I either make mistakes, poor assumptions, show information bias, use data improperly, or when I followed/didn’t follow gut feelings and how that worked out.

Because I ask the OBVIOUS of would this even be a consideration if the age and gender were different, that's racist? 

For every millennial with a degree in crap like gender studies, there is a millennial dumb enough to believe main stream media articles such as this.

Survivorship bias is strong on BiggerPockets.

First - good luck with your decision - respect the ambition and hustle.Second - this post represents a massive representation of confirmation bias in real estate investing that is overly present in these forums (but what would you expect on a RE focused site TBF)Third - as others mentioned, you are comparing different asset classes against each other using different leverage structures and liquidity profiles - not a very useful endeavor other than to prove you are correct (see point 2 above)Fourth - everything and everyone looks like a genius when prices only go up, vacancy rates are low and your properties don't have large unexpected Capex issues or personal issues that would make you become a forced sellerFifth - I could just as easily run this with other stocks besides Apple that may have 3x/4x/5x since 2014 and blown away your calcs OR could have levered up my exposure similar to your study and likely outperformed you while be liquid....permutations are endlessI enjoy the discourse here and your post regardless but there are definitely areas for clarification needed.

How great is PV: I'm definitely biased on this one, but I think PV is the greatest place on Earth.

I appreciate your non biased recommendations.

@James Ong exactly my point, after reading through many comments over here, I see a definite bias against TK and CA investors as a whole.
