Quote from @Sarah Rhee: I have a real simple rule for investing: never sell an investment unless you can move the money to a better-performing asset, or if the sale will move you closer to your goal.Your situation doesn't meet my rules.

So its no major mystery that these are not performing as advertised..

Values in Commercial are a RESULT of the factors that formulate it's financial performance. 

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: while S&P is performing way better, single home appreciation is doing good, so they're quite resilient even during recession.

Question - if you’ve contracted for a property you intend to “wholesale” - i.e. flip the contract - and that doesn’t pan out, do you exercise a clause enabling you to exit the deal, or do you close it in your name?  

But if set up correctly, they can be more consistent performers over time and have more predictable cash flow. 

If you are looking for loans on real estate or a business lenders don’t necessarily care about the credit history of the LLC - they care about the performance of the asset and your creditworthiness since you will most likely have to sign personally.I have established multiple LLCs just days before closing on large loans for different assets, those particular entities barely existed and the banks did not care.If you are talking about pulling a business line of credit (like a HELOC, but against your business equity) then the banks like to see some history of revenue.

Those properties won't look as good on paper, but they'll perform MUCH better in real life. 

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Other things to note: there is an option fee the tenant has to pay (and you may keep if they choose not to exercise the option to buy).
