San Antonio price per unit is $90k with rent per unit of $1k, best in TX
Regarding Zillow, it's accurate, the way people reading here is not accurate, you shall see it from chart/trend perspective not from a defined number.

OMG This data is garbage. You don't look at the past, you look at the future projection. All these TX house has appreciation in Zillow home index.
This is like saying STL has no appreciation in 2018 but 2019 it's the highest appreciating market.

I stopped taking advice seriously from BP since most of the blogger and guru here can't even understand basic math , risk and has too much ego/self-promoter. Perhaps including the podcast and the founder :)

#2 , this is my personal choice because of the risk with note investment. Do you know a large portfolio Notes holder crowdfunding out there is losing money more than 40% with investors losing principal? if they're losing money what about us.
For rental property, almost everything is under our control.

4% interest from seller financing seems like a good deal. I'm not worry in year 5 as appreciation will kick in at least 18% anyway. How do you find the deal ?

Jeffrey, I'm the one that you're talking about.
For whoever post this question, I give you homework, you draw two chart, first chart is chart of S&P500 in the last 20 years, check the volatility and return.
Second you draw a real estate investment plan,eg: you buy in San Francisco or Gary Indiana from 20 years ago, and see which one produces more return.
Also making future price projections in real estate is very easy, you just need to use Zillow.
Truth is I don't need any retirement planning if I invest correctly in Real Estate market.

The problem with all decent Roth/IRA is you invest so little so long with very decent return that you can enjoy after you have some sort of disease :) . Unless you use Titan where the return can go beyond 70% then it's worthed.
I invest heavily in both but real estate never disappoints me, it's the only asset class that almost never went down in price and you can use higher leverage supported by the gov. I am all in for real estate. For me everytime I had little bit of saving I just keep buying house. It's worthed it.
