A retail center can have 100 things go wrong with it that affect cash flow versus single tenant you know because the lease says the investment grade credit tenant takes care of everything per the lease and can model out predictable returns over time and if you have additional upside that is icing on the cake but not a requirement of the investment to be considered successful.Most of my LP investors make medium 6 to 7 figures a year with job or business and have lots of cash and net worth.

The cash flow is much better and predictable, without all the hassle and rules of HOAs breathing down your neck. 

They pay actuaries a lot of money to read into the data of the past and present, to try and predict events in the future. 

The Rock Springs Green River area has had the normal cycles following the price of oil, but add the coal mines, the power plants, the trona mines and the cycles get really weird and hard to predict. 

But who knows, no one can really predict the market.

Credit where credit is due, the predictions for recession in 2023 were wrong (or pre-mature, which is the same thing).

For 2022 annual appreciation/growth, the experts are predicting, zillow 13.6% increase, goldmansachs  16% increase, fannie me 7.9% increase, core logic 1.9% increase, mortgage bankers assoc -2.5% decrease, redfin 3% increase, michael uber 10% increase. 6.

As we all have been watching the market twist and turn over the past couple months, where do you think the market will turn as we enter the new year? I have noticed this month more houses have gone up for sale with sa...

So finding a decent deal that you can predict the exit strategy, whether that be wholesale, rental or flip, is, in my low experienced opinion, difficult.

The problem with appreciation is it's inherently less predictable than cash flow.
