They are made out of Core Ten Steel, to resist Saltwater environment which requires Virgin Steel.

After 45 years investing across many asset classes, many investment types, and everything from lowest risk to outright gambles, I think I finally know the answer.The biggest divide is between investments in which operational control over that investment is with the investor, and investments in which control rests with another party.  

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)

Thomas, That is like saying there is only one real esate class you should invest in.

It's not the data or the asset classes; it's you.You are often your biggest roadblock.Considering this and looking at your journey differently, you can break the stalemate.If you are new and want advice, you must be open to ALL advice, not just the kind that supports your first idea or asset class.

It was a thread with almost all aspiring women real estate investors about some master class that was $7 and a mentorship program costing $20,000 run by a woman investor.

I flip rentals as a primary and do it in pretty high volume & use any spare revenue not reinvested in this business to buy very high yield stable MFR in working class neighborhoods.

I want my GPs to buy their mountain home, fleet of luxury vehicles, and fly first class or private, of course!

you'd have to break it down to some like for like comparisons to come up with a more "general caprate for a specific asset class" or something like that.
