I just love it when some of the first ones to pop up in these threads spout some verbal diarrhea and run away never to return when their blanket statements are debunked and disproved with supporting links and evidence. Then others will argue and fight tooth and nail even though they have been proven wrong. It is why i bookmarked that thread I provided up top. You get tired of explaining the same thing over and over.

How the hell did you manage to only get a 7% YTD return in the stock market this year?

How do you RE guys factor in your time $-wise (opportunity cost)? If it takes say 5 hours a month per property, and I'm making $50/hr at my W-2, I'd need to be cash flowing pretty well Over that vs working the extra hours and dropping it in an index fund.

Are you factoring in mortgage paydown?

The benefit isn't just the income above expenses, ie $500 a month in income takes 5 hours = $100 an hour. It would be $500 plus the mortgage pay down which could be say, another $1,500 plus some other stuff I'm probably not even thinking about. The renter is paying down your mortgage of a physical asset that has value.

In this loose example, that would be $2,000/5 hours or $400 an hour.

It's a different answer for everyone. I chose commercial real estate. No overnight issues. When I add depreciation to my income, my income tax decreases and my ROR exceeds my stock market returns. Plus, rents go up over time. Enjoy your choice! Manage your expectations!

correct. so many pros in RE

1) cash flow-income

2) principal paydown

3) tax write offs

4) appreciation

I do not own any properties in red stick. Probably same rate many do all over (7% to 10%) depending on how many properties you have in your portfolio.
