I like this far more than owning a property (especially if you using your retirement funds) for few reasons: 1) This is totally passive investment (mailbox money), I get the check in the mail monthly of electronic debit in my bank account2) Fixed, predictable returns.

To your questions:I believe the confidence level has to do with the confidence of their rent/price prediction.

I know the Osu market very well plus he airbnb market very well there. better during football season or big groups. where is the property located?

I am not sure if you are an American Football fan, but the term that comes to mind is when the punter kicks the ball "too well" and allows the return team time to set up a solid return.

Hey Rashaad, If you look at this link, Zillow predicts 3 cities of Ohio as their top 10 hottest housing market in 2024 - https://www.axios.com/2024/01/10/zillow-ranking-hottest-real...Feel free to Dm me and I would love to share what I know investing in Northern Ohio.

If it's cashflow, try to use AirDNA to determine your BnB numbers and give a best prediction as to whether it works.

If I tell you to call 100 FSBOs today, are you going to call them, or are you going to figure out some other way that is your way...text them, email them, send them a post card, when I told you to call them.All the NFL players I know (not that many) know a ton about football and fitness, but all have coaches, trainers, nutritionists. 

Just remember that you have nothing to do with how they got themselves into their current situation but unlike the stock market in credit situations past performance does predict and sometimes almost guarantee future results. 

It is hard to predict what the future will provide.

That's the immediate variable I see coming for the market but the rest I'm in the dark about as far as trying to predict market conditions in the coming years.
