Each has pros and cons, and it’s hard to decide which vehicle to start with without making an expensive mistake.On the flip side, the stock market is simple in comparison I can do research from my couch, invest in a company or ETF I believe in, and never touch it again while it grows.

For the last part, why not use a separate calculator (that allows for additional payments) and compare it to the AIO so you have an apples to apples comparison of the total P&I payments and payoff timing forecast.

The comparison to 2008 is irrelevant since we are talking about DSCR loans failing not the market as a whole crashing. 

@Karen Kwak , my colleague, Brian Robbins, has recently published a comparison guide about landlord insurance.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of annual average mortgage rates and median U.S. home prices for each year from 1971 to 2025.

By comparison, private sector datasets like CoStar (which track individual projects, whereas the Census surveys a small percentage of permit holders to estimate starts) show multifamily starts at 12+ year lows.

If you’d like, I’d be happy to give you a comparison between Indy and Memphis so you can see if it might make sense to diversify or even explore here as a parallel option.Either way, you’re on the right track!

I get asked often about the difference between DSTs and 1031s, so I wrote up this quick comparison.

As a comparison, even if you held on through the COVID crash, you lost 34% (not 90% or 100%), and 8 months later, you recovered.Also, you can put in the exact amount of money you want, so things like dollar cost averaging can help mitigate risk if you think the market is high.

I found this Post from Prince Jorby 2 months ago very interesting: Hi, I’m actually a current tenant at a Crew/Book & Ladder property (Campus Walk Chico) and recently discovered they forged my lease:The lease in my portal originally showed a Fresno IP address I’ve never used, with no signatures.After I questioned it, they deleted that page and uploaded a new version with a backdated owner signature, still with no tenant signature.They’ve been charging me utilities and add-on fees I never agreed to, based on this forged lease.I have screenshots, Blue Moon’s confirmation the lease wasn’t properly executed, and a SHA-256 hash + video comparison showing the forgery steps.Since I saw you’re discussing Crew’s investor issues, I thought you might want to know this fraud extends to tenants as well, not just investors.
