I knew about RE, but was deterred because of Dave Ramsey and the lot of influencers pushing Index Funds, but I know what I want! 

The affordability index is going down compared to previous years, but the opportunities are still there for OOS investors as rents are going up and appreciation has been through the roof!

My dilemma is, do I just sell and take the $100,000 now and put it in like an S&P 500 Index Fund or keep the property and take the $265/Month to maybe $465/Month Free Cash Flow – after all costs - and take advantage of all the tax deductions and depreciation, while the renters are paying off the property slowly.

I have done well in my career and am currently sitting on a mid 7 figure liquid portfolio all invested in equity index funds, and I think diversifying a bit in real estate might be a good strategy.

I looked into a more stable cash flow market such as Indianapolis but the crime index concerns me.

I also checked with the local clerks office and the lien index.

If you are looking for higher return, you can invest in stock market index fund or REITS.

If not, index funds are a better play IMO.
