Electric was updated in the past 10 years with many new amenities and well maintained property.

My building is older and hadn't been maintained well but I'm spending 10-20% of gross rents on that depending on how many units turn-over.

But I don't have a better idea to invest in, other than just "the stock market".

Not storing boxes, files, and personal personal stuff, but power tools, hurricane panels for the duplex, extra lumber, lawn mower, ladders etc...are those "personal" items or items that helps maintain the property and thus not personal?

Less interest is paid on the mobile home and condo, but condos may typically appreciate less than houses and mobile homes even less.I am not considering the amount of the payments that contribute to equity as a cost.Lower appreciation and interest are two costs, but a third is opportunity cost, which is the amount that the down payment would return if invested instead of being used as a down payment.The down payment for a house would be much larger than for a mobile home and therefore would have a much higher opportunity cost.I understand that there are many variables at play with these decisions such as historical appreciation of each type of property, estimates of future appreciation, mortgage rates vs stock returns, geographical area, etc.I just want to know the rank of each type of property in cost when appreciation, opportunity cost, and interest are summed given reasonable estimates of each variable.Thanks for any replies.
