Communication from Harvest Returns is awful.

My family owns a farm in Wisconsin where we harvest maple syrup and honey.

People who influence my investing stratagies; 1st is Coach Carson (slow/mighty infevester and the harvesting phase), 2nd Ken McElroy (use leverage, but don't over leverage), and 3rd Real Estate Rookie (a ton of usful miscelanious info). 

.* Long-term growth potential* Tax advantages (especially in retirement accounts or with tax-loss harvesting)**Cons:*** No cash flow unless you're dividend-focused* Market volatility: Stocks can drop 20–30%+ in corrections* Less control: You’re a passive participant vs. real estate where you can force appreciationReal Estate Investing – A Smart Supplement:Real estate, especially long-term rentals (LTRs) - could be an ideal complement to your brokerage accounts:* Monthly cash flow for lifestyle freedom* Tax benefits (depreciation, cost segregation, 1031 exchanges)* Appreciation and leverage options* More control over your investmentIf you want something more passive, turnkey rentals in the Midwest or Southeast are great entry points - low-maintenance, managed properties in cash-flowing markets with strong rental demand.You don’t have to choose just one path.

So if you ever want to harvest some of your gains, you can sell a smaller chunk of your portfolio instead of having to sell the whole thing.

Are you in the growth phase or the harvesting phase?

@Katie Roche - I have never worked with RTR, so I have no opinion or comment on them whatsoever accordingly.However, I find the comments about Harvest, AL made by them to be. . .well, bizarre.60 days to rent in Harvest means that either the property isn't adequately rehabbed and/or not priced accurately. 

These deals are 3/5/7 year Harvest periods.  

One has to be a PM to harvest money from the group. 

Alternative strategies include tax-loss harvesting to offset stock gains, using cost segregation and bonus depreciation for real estate deductions, or deferring real estate capital gains through a 1031 exchange.
