Weekly jobless claims and import/export price indexes were mixed, but those releases barely registered as energy markets continued to reprice risk.

Quote from @Ed B.: are  you sure you didn't miss reading or understanding the fine print?

That’s where you see chronic lateness instead of outright default.A few things I’d look at:Are applicants barely clearing your income threshold, or comfortably above it?

hello I have been learning a lot about the BRRRR strategy and Its seems like a great way to grow a wealth during the years as my goal is to maximize my capital in a decade from nowa main way if not the biggest to create the highest grow of my money is to have a good appreciation but as I was investigating where is the best market to invest i went to the macro appreciation for the last 3 years and even last year,(the last 10 years been amazing but a lot of bad changes went I the last years for the BRRRR investors such as end of corona, mortgage rate, insurance is some areas, many great years which create a fix now) and the numbers for median property unit were awful between negative to barely increasing (Zillow) so I stopped for a second to think, is the BRRR strategy is still a great way to start investing in 2026, I know there is renovation and force appreciation in the rehab and some places even good cash flow can create  good return on your money but still for looking to create the biggest wealth you need appreciation as a main key (correct me if I'm wrong) so would really appreciate some opinions and thoughts

That raises a big strategic question for us:Option 1: Buy a primary residenceStop paying rentLock in a property in SoCalPotential appreciation upsideAccess to primary residence financingPotential tax advantages (including 2-year capital gains exclusion)Option 2: Skip primary, go straight into rentalsDeploy capital into short-term or long-term rentals (likely out of state for better cash flow)Focus immediately on building income-producing assetsMaintain flexibility while rentingOur priority long-term is cash flow and building a scalable portfolio — but we also recognize the potential stability and tax benefits of owning our primary.For those who’ve faced a similar fork in the road:Did buying your primary first help or slow your investing journey?

Are they right about the camera even facing the street will violate the privacy?

Typically I would like to meet a person face to face but since this is not possible I wanted to ask if there is any red flags or big risk here?

The same household that can barely afford a starter home in Miami, Austin, or Los Angeles walks into Louisville with purchasing power they haven't felt in years.

On a duplex, that's the difference between a deal that barely pencils and one where the tenant covers your entire mortgage.The process takes 45-90 days instead of 30, and the banks add friction because they would rather have that low-rate loan off their books.

The total number of LPs would be no more than 6 or 7 and the total capital would barely cross half a million.
