Even if property values tank, people still need a place to rent and rents may even go up.2) You can easily access the returns from cashflow, and potentially live off of cashflow passively.3) Since cashflow returns are immediate, you can reinvest those returns quickly as opposed to value locked away in equity.4) Cashflow properties are often cheaper, meaning a lower barrier for entry.5) You don't have to worry about buying at the wrong time, as you are profiting immediately.6) Predictable.

I just started in Arrowhead this year, so I don't really have enough data to make any realistic predictions about cash flow or ROI yet - Lake Arrowhead is highly seasonable, and this year is particularly difficult to generalize from.

Doubtful, but that's why they are in their own commercial areas.I don't doubt that STRs are going to be around for a while but I also predict that virtually every community will eventually have enough costs and regulations surrounding it that the profitability will be dubious at best.

Doomsday market predictions, bad tax advice regarding 401ks, shady sales pitch seminars. 

I also predict the cash-flow to 3x within a 5-6 years. 

I predict @Bill Buzzell will garner zero business from his time here on BP

Thank you Alexander, appreciate your thoughts.They claim that the cost of the solar per month at current historical use with them would be cheaper than what they are paying through our local utility and much future at the predict raise rates of the local utility.So if what they say is true the renters would be paying less per month for the same amount of usage and I (the owner) would not pay anything, all that needs to be paid is the monthly bill.Feels too good to be true plus my major worry is not owning something that is tied to this SFR, especially if I have to sell it.

Thanks  I am not an agent but I've analyzed markets almost every few days, a staged home would get a higher price relative to the predicted Zillow price.

>but given the rise last year and the projected 20% this year.Who is predicting a 20% increase for 2022?  

Loans are a poor idea for HOA's, as you are just adding the interest onto the cost of replacing elements that were statistically predictable to NEED replacing within a narrow time frame.You can prepare yourself if you keep the unit by ballparking a replacement cost for the major elements that you are concerned about or that are just not included in current reserve plans.
