Because of this shortage rents are increasing very rapidly which is great for those who have units to rent but bad for those in the renter pool (bigger pool now that a lot of people have been priced out).On the flip side, these uncertain times have given buyers more power in negotiations.

This was just the first time the other tenants felt they needed to get me involved.Some further detail about tenant A is that prior to the rude voicemail she had always been nice to me, paid on time and has two kids that live with her.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

I agree with your statement, on Airbnb, it does appear to be more of a "I watched 3 episodes of Robuilt on YouTube so I can Airbnb too!"

It very well may, very situationalLook at the power of compounding and it will help you make an educated decisionhttps://www.bankrate.com/retirement/calculators/401-k-retirement-calculator/Also, you could see if your employer allows you to make Roth 401k contributions (post tax), which would solve your mention of higher tax bracket in retirement
