There's just so much fundamentally important info about REI that most data don't convey (Zillow discovered this the hard way, when they tried and failed to invest in real estate based largely on data inputs, rather than boots-on-the-ground knowledge).Real estate is literally a physical item, with physical functions, governed by physical realities, and because of that, it can only be fully understood through physical means (seeing properties with your own eyes, experiencing neighborhoods in person, meeting potential tenants face-to-face...or at least on Zoom).

Happy Holidays to everyone and hope we are all being safe. Happy New Year as well to everyone and to their New Year Journey. Stay Balanced, Stay Focused, and Stay Blessed!  😎 🙌

I will talk to my lender about this product.
