More consolidation by the biggest banks and asset management company. 

However, I ended up being laid off as part of a buyout and consolidation process....I worked for the acquired company in an industry that's on a down trend.  

What do you mean by consolidation?

I need to see how consolidation plays out to feel more certain on that front. 

One thing that was discussed is that Collage which has not changed in 100 years may never be the same with all the on line class's.. so you could see a retreat or consolidating collage campuses and the associated housing for the students..

.:2021 Goal is to grow to 10 doors from 1, investing for cash flow.I currently own 1 rental in San Diego that breaks-even because I stuck my retired parents in it, it’s 60%LTV with $320k mortgage, worth $545k.I rent in Los Angeles, $2,100 per month but am considering putting 5% down on a vacant 3 unit property to house hack that has the following:2 bd/ 1.5 ba front house2 bd/ 1 ba back house (1 bedroom is un-permitted per title reflecting this as a 1/1) - will rent for $2k1 bd/ 1 ba adu - not sure if it was permitted - will rent for $1500$850k with 5% down, Mortgage will be $4600 This seems like the best next step except the unpermitted aspects give me pause.I pulled $100k out of my San Diego home to consolidate my student loans, but have yet to pull the trigger as I’m considering ways to put this cash to work and arrive at paying those off with the proceeds.

I am in a debt consolidation program, and I ask myself, how can I invest if I cant take on debt until this program is paid off.

I work for the PO and there’s always talk about closing rural offices and consolidating them with the next town/village/city in order to save money.

You can pay them a wonderful price for their asset and still make significant profit upgrading and consolidating facilities.I love self storage.

All of the deals I have bought this year I have (will have) actual money invested after refi, so of course that slows you down, but I think that is healthier.Sometimes it's good to grow wide, but than take some time to consolidate.
