Let\u2019s get it started.<\/p>\n<p>So, guys, the answer is this: Absolutely not.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why The Presidential Election Will Not Affect Your Real Estate Endeavors\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZzB0GoL0aIw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But before I dive into that, I just want to say that I\u2019m very impressed with all of my American friends. When I first moved to the U.S., I think there was an election going on. People had flags in their yards, and I heard arguments, fights, and discussions. You guys are very passionate about your politics. It\u2019s kind of cool to me, being from Australia and having parents from Europe. It just doesn\u2019t get that heated over there or in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I never vote. I just don\u2019t really care about it. I\u2019m not into politics. It\u2019s just not my thing. I\u2019m just really excited for all of you because you seem very excited about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/stocks-exploit-current-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stocks Are a Better Bet Than Real Estate in 2020<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Politics, Real Estate, and When &amp; Where They Intersect<\/h2>\n<p>Anyway, this is why the president cannot affect your real estate investments\u2014at least in my opinion. I was asked to try and get involved in heated discussions, and I never really wanted to. I always told everyone that I don\u2019t really care\u2014it doesn\u2019t really affect me or bother me.<\/p>\n<p>My business is so micro-marketed. There are a lot of other small business owners out there like me, and whoever becomes president won\u2019t really affect us. Even for all of you single real estate investors out there, who don\u2019t really have a business but have the desire to create a legacy through a real estate investment portfolio or additional income\u2014in my opinion, the president cannot affect you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120201 size-main-slider\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/think-analyze-wonder-702x336.jpg\" alt=\"researching-ADU\" width=\"702\" height=\"336\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>The laws and regulations that the new president enforces cannot have any major impact on your real estate investing or my business. Why? Because we\u2019re tiny little fishes. We\u2019re small, and to be honest, no one really cares about us that much.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:<\/em><\/strong> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/figure-pull-money-real-estate-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Should You Pull Your Money Out of the Real Estate Market?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I say that with the utmost respect. And being so small, allows us to be adaptable, flexible, and quick, meaning we can turn, adjust, and implement new procedures. Whatever it is within our existing business, if there is any kind of change in regulation or the economy, we can always adapt to that change.<\/p>\n<h2>This Is Who Should Actually Be Worried<\/h2>\n<p>Now, the companies like Uber and WeWork\u2014they should be kissing all the candidates butts, because whoever becomes the president can affect their business. Why? Because they are part of the macro-market. They\u2019re huge conglomerate companies that can shift an entire industry and the world. So, they should be \u201cin bed\u2019 with everyone who has a chance of becoming the new president.<\/p>\n<p>For the little fishes out there, I don\u2019t think it can affect us. Again, we\u2019re so small it doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n<p>That is my opinion for you, guys. Don\u2019t be worried, because who really cares. (Unless you\u2019re very passionate about one particular individual winning for whatever reason.) I love you for it; just leave me out of it.<\/p>\n<p>I think we\u2019re all good. So, keep doing what you\u2019re doing. Work hard, work smart, and I wish you all the best with your real estate endeavors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/biggerpockets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-114268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/6.jpg\" alt=\"ad-youtube-channel\" width=\"706\" height=\"125\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/6.jpg 706w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/6-300x53.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/6-702x125.jpg 702w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>How are you feeling about the presidential election and the way in which it will or won&#8217;t impact your REI business?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leave a comment below.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America will elect its next president in November 2020.
