• Crowd-sourced projects (think Crowdstreet, Fundrise, Roofstock)• Moving into investment for 2 years and sell (seems extreme and low level of confidence in strong desired results.) • BBD - Bulk everything together into one large investment, cash-out refinance, rinse/repeat (seems like ongoing work like we have today.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

I came up with this list:region-name:mean-appreciation-10yr:mean-rtpLakeland, FL126.410558160.67416071McAllen, TX69.291962160.68613497Memphis, TN65.483403280.72944333Dayton, OH61.835908900.67836146Pittsburgh, PA57.910773040.65368893Greensboro, NC53.139561620.70635074Youngstown, OH51.949742310.65324659Winston-Salem, NC51.927254160.78515147Rochester, NY48.997707890.66227973Augusta, GA48.206020240.65745314Toledo, OH47.582768950.72120593New York, NY40.920532060.99205336Syracuse, NY39.811672470.73856038Columbia, SC35.113673200.68110439Jackson, MS33.014655470.79068896El Paso, TX31.686361650.72477202Scranton, PA31.550057410.74227059I'm somewhat confident in the data, but not 100%.

I learned a ton of valuable info from my first rental and it gave me even more confidence to turn things up. 

On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

And you’re able to confidently predict an 16 - 18% annualized return COMPOUNDED ROI.  

I'm just wondering where this confidence comes that you are right, when last December you had just finished your first year in STR's and made $75k and was asking questions about how Airbnb places a property on the first page of search. and a year later you feel yourself to be an expert that knows more than anyone else? 

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

I have never done this before even though I am a licensed real estate managing broker however I don't feel confident enough.

Their track record and seeing Brian Burke speak on multiple panels at the SF Bay Real Estate Summit in Oakland this summer made us feel confident in investing with them.

If the agent you work with is not familiar make sure the lender is, so you have someone who can confidently navigate this path for you.
