@BryceWGarcia 10% difference on $50,000 is only $5,000. Is it worth it? Not unless you do like 10 of em :/

@geoff_l Great point

@BryceWGarcia Does this count appreciation?

@RealCoachMRios Nah just saying without the appreciation

@BryceWGarcia What if you have time to devote to your STR? What if you love the specific STR market and thoroughly enjoy hosting others to share the experience? I don’t view it as work I view it as a hobby tbh

@keegan_schaub Then keep doing it

@BryceWGarcia levered/unlevered? including HPA or only cash on cash return?

@JLissoy Only return

@BryceWGarcia Just closed on an index fund for 50% of its value. Everyone else was paying twice as much the same day. Plus my private lender provided all the money. No money down. I hope my fund goes up in value. …..wait …that was RE we bought that way.

@REExchangor Not arguing what’s better or worse

@BryceWGarcia Ya don’t have to cut the grass or re-roof an index fund.

@RickFelten True

@BryceWGarcia It's not nearly as much work as you think...

@DonteJo67122351 It’s work, Tim

@BryceWGarcia If your not factoring time into the return it isn’t useful. What’s your hourly rate? Put that in there and then you can compare with confidence and quality.

@voxtexian I'm turning this into a newsletter and I'm gonna use your point about your hourly rate

@BryceWGarcia Owning both is a good way to go. I do.

@investor_fella It’s a good strategy

@BryceWGarcia the big thing here i real estate is a huge pay to avoid paying taxes in the US
