Newly-Built Condos in Cities Make Perfect Rentals—Here’s Why by Kyle Spearin
When discussing rental properties, it’s common for people to refer to multifamily residences. How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I have 20 units under management,” most of which are probably spread across just a few buildings?
This investment approach is logical from an economic standpoint. Having four units under one roof versus just one, four rents instead of one—you get the point.

Surge Pricing: How You Can Reap the Benefits of High Short-Term Rental Demand by Liz Zack
During much of the year, this short-term, two-bedroom rental in Indio, California, a lovely, quiet, desert town about 35 minutes past Palm Springs, hovers around $172 a night. That is, until mid-April every year when thousands of revelers descend on the world-famous Coachella music festival, the listing says it is a 17-minute walk away.
During those weeks, this very same rental commands $808 a night. That’s more than a 369% increase, and it’s the same for every rental in the area, in every price range—for example, $410 goes to $756; $2,300 goes to $6,386, etc.

At least that’s according to a report from StorageCafe, which found that fixer-uppers cost an average of 29% less than homes that are ready to move in. And in 20 of the largest 50 cities, they can cost 50% less than a regular home.

Think Passive Real Estate Is Safe? Here Are 9 Hidden Risks That Could Cost You by G. Brian Davis
You can’t eliminate all risk from investments. After all, the zombie apocalypse could strike tomorrow and probably wipe out your entire portfolio. But you can reduce risk, even among high-return investments. In fact, these are precisely the investments you want to minimize risk for—your Treasury bonds don’t need it.
I love real estate syndications as high-return investments. They’re completely passive: You don’t have to worry about financing or contractors, permits or inspectors, tenants or property managers. You don’t have to become a landlord, yet you still get all the benefits of real estate ownership, including cash flow, appreciation, and tax advantages.
