I think your first statement, though, is very simplistic and I'd recommend you check out that same channel I mentioned above.

In this day and age with all the technological advances out-of-state investment has become so much more simplistic and easily manageable.

I think that's a simplistic approach that results in you dumping on some really good people - like a lot of the coaches I know.  

Of course this could also motivate banks to start releasing their shadow inventory at a greater rate, meeting demand and causing prices to stabilize.In sum, it’s anyone’s guess, but it’s clear (to me at least) that basic supply and demand economics are too simplistic to predict the relationship between interest rates and home prices.The sources for this chart are:30 Year Interest Rates from Freddie Mac (averaged by quarter): http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/pmms30.htmHome prices from John Shiller’s “Irrational Exuberance†website: http://www.irrationalexuberance.com/

I know some people vouch for Airbnb, but the simplistic nature of booking at a hotel it’s hard to beat. 

This sub-text I believe is still in tact.The suggestion to get your Attorney to sign off on XYZ is a bit simplistic especially re Dodd Frank, CFPB et al.  

The benefit of RE is that you also get to claim depreciation, so in very simplistic terms you get to take an added "expense" of 1/27th of the value of the purchase every year.

The point is not that older houses are always better, or that newer houses are always better, the point is: every house is different, and blindly saying "newer houses will cause you less headaches than older houses" is an overly simplistic perspective that often comes from a lack of experience with both types of houses.The solution?

You might think your situation is unique and  you might scoff at the fact that I'm making it so simplistic, but just think.

It will beat inflation to death and the mortgage (leverage) will allow you to control more money AND have tenants pay it off for you. 2 very simplistic and not very thorough explanations, but that would give me carpal tunnel.
