Yes, #1 isn't exactly true, but it makes a point that not every landlord and rental can expect to get an A/B class tenant.

It’s flexible—you can invest in rentals, commercial properties, or syndications—but managing it requires careful attention to avoid prohibited transactions.In comparison, a SEP IRA offers tax-deferred growth, which might be better if you expect a lower tax rate in retirement, but it doesn’t avoid UDFI tax on leveraged properties or allow borrowing.Before investing, check if SDIRA Wealth aligns with your goals and review their track record.

The IRS changed how they treat single-member LLCs (solopreneurs like myself) and I expect there will be more changes like in Illinois coming. 

BTW, you can do an LTR on any property - house or condo - without applying for a permit.In the right location, you should expect to see at least a 2x return on an STR as opposed to an LTR.

Even completely self-serve laundromats require daily cleaning and light maintenance.As far as time costs, expect to spend time each week troubleshooting equipment issues, routine maintenance, cleaning, and handling customer issues.

Quote from @Henry T.: I'm sorry in advance if I sound blunt or stern its how I work.

Certainty in this industry is merely an illusory facade - costs and timelines often exceed expectations by double.

I recently opened a HELOC and I recall it's at prime for the first year (7.5% currently), and I only paid minimal closing costs.PML or HML I would expect rates >10%, plus points, possible prepayment penalties etc.

So In my calculations I expect all three to rise.I think we were saying the same thing.
