Quote from @Bryce Jamison: @David Greene talked about this recently on his new podcast.He recommends being an overall real estate professional so you can make money in numerous ways and in different economic climates, and more importantly, you can help folks in all stages of their life and with all their real estate needs.Sometimes your helping folks find a good handyman, sometimes you're renting them one of your units only to be their agent later on when they're ready to buy, then maybe you're giving them house hacking tips after they buy.I can’t disagree with that, although in this age of almost unlimited information, I believe in the need to specialize.

How do you fund the "gems". by arbitraging the good ones that are not gems and making your 40% - 80% mark-up from the local investor pool and these are cash deals so they are mortgage rate resistant, your trading at the bottom of the market, not the top and so the economic impacts would have to be earth shattering to reach this bucket but in volume the returns are incredible.

The ways around this are usually: (1) switch from replacement cost to actual cash value (ACV) or functional replacement cost, so the insured value better matches the real economic value, and (2) use an agreed value/stated amount endorsement so the company agrees up front to a lower limit without hitting you with a coinsurance penalty.

I just find it disturbing to think that a lot of economic activity is just selling nonsense to each other rather than creating products or services of real value."

Because of that, there is a lot of economic development which drives jobs, housing demand, rent growth, and appreciation.
