That “risk‑on” tone is lifting both U.S. stocks and Treasuries—economic optimism is once again trumping geopolitical noise.

If that rate breaks the deal, either the price needs to move or it’s not a deal worth forcing.The market rewards patience and margin right now, not optimism.

I’m early in my real estate investing journey and trying to approach it with cautious optimism.

I've sold a ton of properties this year in short north, near children's hospital, osu wexner, and near easton mall, that are all great locations and optimal for short-term aibnb/vrbo. 

I would also consider as much internal optimization as possible: credit, business structuring, partnerships/JV's, raising money, risk reduction, etc. 

Because our systems are so dialed in and we've optimized them over 10 years, the VA is not overwhelmed.

This is a very different model than the owning your own asset and managing yourself to optimize cash flow like in Short Term Rental Long Term Wealth, but it is a legit syndication.I have not personally invested with them but I know their head of data very well and I have seen that their underwriting is RIGOROUS.
