Car and Airplane traffic seems much, much lighter than last year.Zillow has 92314 appreciation pegged at 17% for 2022 but we know how well their predictive analytics worked out this year.Long term rentals have INCREDIBLE demand.

Everyone is going to predictably say "oh they must be licensed and insured and bonded!"

@Anny Ann Nobody can predict downturns.  

The 70% rule cannot be applied to every single piece of property on the market or even off the market.You can't go out on the tennis court thinking you are going to win a football game."

And with that type of risk, can an attorney/title company predict any issues in correcting the title?

Nobody can predict where the market goes, so we can all just make our best guess.

In other words, If you CAN PREDICT IT, you can PROFIT from it.If you cannot Predict the Future Cash Flows and the Selling Price, the ROI is just a blind guess.I would also like to give a second example, one which will redeem Marshall as he finally understood the power of a full Financial Education, learning about Future Value and the Internal Rate of Return.In 2013, Marshall purchased one of my buildings in an area called Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn.

An IRA or 401k could not lend to you or an entity you own.Notes are a nice asset for self-directed retirement plans, because they are simple and clean, and can provide solid, predictable returns.The ownership of income property can also be very beneficial for a self-directed IRA or Solo 401k, but can introduce a greater degree of complexity depending on the strategy.  

Any predictable maintenance such as gardener or pool care6.

(more the trends)plenty of smart investors around, still no one can accurately predict the market. short term debt cycle is ~8 years, long term debt cycle is ~40, and as someone said about real estate is somewhere in between. 6 months is not enough time to analyze long term RE trends, and trends aren't hard and fast rules.
