Real Estate Investing

Rentals and short-term rentals as investments: cap rate, cash flow, DSCR loans, BRRRR, and honest Airbnb underwriting.

Investment property lives or dies on underwriting, so this topic leads with the numbers: cap rate and GRM to screen a deal, cash flow and cash-on-cash to judge it, and DSCR coverage to finance it. The Airbnb cluster prices short-term rentals honestly, from startup costs to saturation risk, and the BRRRR guide covers the capital-recycling mechanics. The S&P 500 vs investment property comparison is the reality check: leverage can beat the index, but only at cap rates the 2026 market rarely offers.
