This is not a once size fits all question IMO.

Some employers, (when you're 50+) 401k adoption agreements will allow you to do an "in-service-rollover". 

It does not matter the size of the city. 

One of the best ways to start investing imo, especially for young people who can be flexible on location, unit size, etc.3- look for properties with value add- renovate and/or reconfiguring units, maybe adding an ADU in basement or garage conversion, upside in rent increases via tenant turnover due to natural attrition, buy outs, etc.

This rule is part of the Securities Act of 1933, which was established to provide more freedom for businesses to raise capital while still protecting investors.Here are the key aspects of Regulation D, Rule 506(c):Rule 506(c) Filing:Allows issuers to broadly solicit and generally advertise an offering, provided that all purchasers in the offering are accredited investors.Requires issuers to take reasonable steps to verify that the purchasers of the securities are accredited investors.Issuers must still file a "Form D" with the SEC after they first sell their securities.The rule effectively lifts the prohibition on general solicitation and advertising for certain investment offerings, allowing companies to reach a broader audience when seeking investment.Accredited Investor Definition:To become "accredited," an investor must meet certain defined criteria regarding income, net worth, professional experience, or size of the entity (if the investor is an entity rather than an individual).

So you'll see a higher overall income per household because the household size grew relative to the price point.

For me it’s not a one size fits all type of situation.

Now I provide a modestly sized (42-48") TV in every bedroom, and a big one in the living room.

In fact if you don't do proper due diligence some are "traps" with bad layouts, fire damage, and tiny sized lots. 

I do agree $100k revenue on $500k cabin seems should have positive coc, but the size ($7k allocated maint/cap ex which is unscheduled maintenance - annual fire prep has own allocation), delivered propane, expensive utilities, & expensive cleaning take their toll.
