[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for me, had I sold the place and invested down payment plus the extra money I had to pay the next 11 years, I'd have 4 times the money I have now. Positive cash flow would have let me invest the difference. The place didn't go up fast enough. It was just forced savings. Glad I even sold it in 2019 and put the money into market. Still made 5x the money, but had I put all of it in 8 years earlier and even the extra monthly payment, I'd be retired. That was the good decade in the market I missed.[/quote] Good example. It’s the opportunity cost. Investment property can be good if it’s highly leveraged, revenues at least cover expenses + depreciation and is in an appreciating market. Otherwise, you’re better off in another investment (long term). If you want to diversify into real estate, Blackstone REIT has excellent returns, will be more diversified, and you don’t have to deal with tenants. [/quote]
