Even before COVID-19 came onto the scene, it has been a prevailing theme over the last year or two that cities and states are pushing more laws limiting the abilities of landlords to collect rent, evict tenants who don't pay, renovation and increase rents, and other regulations regarding how their business is operated. 

In your case, a repeated theme Kiyosaki mentions is that "business is a team sport" (and if you're the smartest guy on your team, your team is in trouble).If you haven't read it, I'd recommend Kiyosaki's book Cashflow Quadrant as it explains his idea of E-S-B-I (employee/self-employed/business owner/investor).

The theme on bigger pockets is to use your equity to buy more and more.

They say "your listing is at risk of suspension or removal"......What the heck?

I'd rather meet Warren Buffett than Tom Brady But I think the 2 big why's at this time are1 to show a young punk kid( the me of 20+ years ago) that it can be done. 2 I want to see what i can create, and who I can help along the way. 

I think the main theme is to be more deliberate and disciplined in all areas.

I appreciate the analysis, but you are commenting on a line inside a 100 post thread and missing the theme about what the value means in this context.Account Closed totally fair points and the Bro Investor does not affect me at all.

Some other pros would be weather, globally sought after, growing infrastructure across the state to accomodate high speed rail, space industry, we have several major airports, growing tech/medical industries as well as the ever growing theme park monsters that help to bring in about 70 million people a year here, we stay pretty purple with politics and very alternative lifestyle friendly, schools overall aren't great, but we do have some very good ones including prep schools/acadamy's. landlord friendly and so much more too!

I had a small company a bit ago with an employee that relocated to Evansville 5 years back.She loves it there and, anecdotally, it seems the city is growing and attractive.Can't say I know much else but the Midwest is on fire lately so it definitely falls in line with that theme.

So to keep on the theme of this thread I think that could have been a pretty gusty move we paid 6 million in cash in December for Canby..
