Unfortunately with todays prices and most importantly - interest rates, investing in RE is not sexy.

People are drawn to them because they appear to “cash flow” better—of course they do, because they’re priced lower and need major work behind the walls.My general rule of thumb in today’s market—especially for house hacking—is this:Look for a property that’s structurally sound, maybe needs some cosmetic work, and if the cost of living in one unit while renting out the other is comparable to what you’d pay in rent, then you’re in a decent position.Real estate investing isn’t sexy—especially now.

I feel people won't follow but if your in teens or 20-whatever and you seek the "sure thing" or "easy" this IS the #1 easiest road to wealth, it is. 

Not sexy or fast but reliable and repeatable. 

Multifamily properties now account for 43% of the city’s total distressed commercial loans.Office properties face ongoing challenges across the country, with cap rates for premium Class A properties now exceeding 8%, while distressed Class C properties see rates climbing into the low teens.

It's not sexy, but it works.

Not sexy but a 30k used units investment strategy renting for 1100 a month, I think could one way.

If they could, meaning they did not buy or re-finance in 2022, you'd see it get into correction, not crash, territory as in high singles, low teens deficits.

Not sure the attraction to people thinking being a full time landlord is some sexy business..

Through the late 20-teens and early 2020s, you could depreciate 100% in first year.
