Seems like a whole lot of effort and a big gamble for potentially not much more gain than if you just let that money work for you. Plus you have it liquid in case you really need it.
I’m lazy. Which is probably why you guys who do real estate will be much better off than me lol.
I was wondering the same thing. My main interest would be diversification and cash flow in retirement. Leverage has always been one of the big draws in real estate investing. I've never been a fan of debt so I'd rather pay cash which makes it less attractive from a return stand point. If I didn't include leverage and possible appreciation what rate of return could be expected owning residential property, specifically single family homes?
Edit: Just saw Gunfighter's post above. Thanks
