Apartments are overcrowded, overpriced, and not the guaranteed path to financial freedom many believe.
Alternative investment strategies like self-storage, flex spaces, industrial outdoor storage, and triple net properties can offer:
More stable cash flow

Lower tenant turnover
Potentially higher returns
Real investment success isn't about accumulating the most "doors" but finding the right assets that:
