Real estate is one of the few investments where the capital is super-charged by the efforts of the investor.For some players, this can be great, but when evaluating the result, the investor has to remember to remove themselves from the equation to see how much the money returned. 20% returns are easy when one is working in the deal (meaning that the money didn't really return that amount by itself) but there is a very strict limit on how much an investor can make when they are contributing capital.It is not necessarily better to be active or passive - as long as the investor is aware what the basis is for making the money.

Also, I have a credit card with them with a super long history and a decent limit - that I rarely use.

The government drives down the real cost of capital and it is super cheap after tax shields are factored in.

We are super excited to have you apart of the BP family now!

80 years super cycle?

On the other hand install is very very simple once you get the groove going and the floor is very durable (we have never needed to replace any so far after 2 years.So to break down my opinion (Theres way smarter people than me on here) Snap Together Vinyl Plank with underlay might be good for your sound situation, However if your tenants are able to destroy it, (ie: Defective High Heels or Scratching the floor) its 2X the money gone since the planks are super hard to replace.

The one that does not is the better performing property (by a good margin).And here is the super confusing part. :)  Sometimes all the items I'm looking for may usurp some of the other items.  

I am in the process of working with John Park (who works closely with Jeff) to rollover into a self directed account and so far John had been fantastic - very knowledgeable and super responsive.With respect to Jeff, I spoke with him and I believe he does use Dave's PPR fund which pays out a 12% for accredited investors.

I am super proud of that and have an infinite amount of respect for him, but I also saw that money really stresses people out when abused and not respected.

There are some high end and super active rental markets where this is not an issue, but I don't think the OP's property is in such an area.
