I recommend comparing lenders to make sure you get some good terms and financing options for your next investment!

The important things to consider about HOA fees is that they usually include some utilities: Water/Sewer, Trash, sometimes shared amenities like gym, clubhouse, pool, and they are saving you the time and headache for property maintenance: lawn care, tree timing, roof, siding, etc.

and for sure I would think BP charges sponsors to advertise on the forum just like they charge to advertise on this forumthey are having some sort of event and the guest I saw were Brian Burke ( top shelf ) and Jeremy Roll ( another wickedly smart dude)  compared to the guru trainers who I really dont know much are anything about so cant comment on them. 

I just want to compare the real estate and stock market investment.

What I have seen in the research is to find a property you are interested in and compare to other comps in the same neighborhood.

Who knows, maybe you use that money and invest into a new type of toothpaste that blows any RE investment out of the water.

I find that depending on the market $300-500/mo are fairly normal and if compared to what you would pay with a single family home on some utilities, maintenance, and management, it's a good deal.

Kyle there are a ton of options here that you can compare.

For my screening criteria - income from all financially responsible applicants is combined and compared to rent.

Compare that to the performance of a new property (with that equity unlocked but also with a different interest rate as @Katie Ripp said).
