Much of the information in these reports is self-reported and not verified. 

Are you self managing those properties?

It could vary of course depending on the defenses of the tenant and if the court is presently backlogged.

We currently have 10 single family properties in the best school districts and we self manage.

I do see lots of self storage and warehouses going up, so my default assumption would be that the old shopping malls do NOT trade for less than build cost, but it's possible that the marketplace is not perfectly efficient. 

Quote from @Maria Jeanette: I am considering using Equity Trust to set up a self-directed IRA to purchase properties.

My son (age 24) however, is an independant contractor / self employed and is trying to buy a house. 

Contractually, I'm sure I'll be on the hook for something based on their PM favored literature, but can I contest that they have done absolutely nothing for me, including not paying me as my defense?

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

i self manage 1 property that i used to live in and have PMs on the rest.i'm trying to BRRRR so that i can recoup all or most of my capital on each deal that i buy, and in 2024 i got outbid on 100% of what i went after.
