There are great wineries, fresh fruit is bountiful, and beautiful lakes.

Then what would we have a fruitful forum discussion about?

I mean a general recession, we had flat/negative GDP the preceding quarters, S&P down 20% +.Not sure what more people want.What folks don't realize with investor saturation, tech, and everything in between, the market has a profound way of realizing positions and getting in & out of them to where the markets overcorrect and sometimes move so quick all the juice in it happens to squeeze out so fast.

The other big loser is the investor who thinks they will wait it out thinking there is going to be a  crash of some sort or prices will get better ( this will happen of course to some degree as some sellers panic) but its not going to be a 08 low hanging fruit event if it gets that bad DEBT will dry up and unless your a TRUE cash buyer your not going to get a loan anyway. so in my mind losers right now are Tenants and Investors who get mired in Social Media doom and Gloom as long as debt can still be gotten I I see it every week when our deals pay off and the new rents basically support a decent COC return real estate is the place to be for long term wealth. 

You know you want to be in real estate because it's a smart move, but your time constraints don't allow it.2 low hanging fruits that stick out: 1 - investing in a house hack scenario so you can immediately start building equity instead of renting 2 - investing through real estate funds and syndications.

If I pour lemon juice in a glass of water without any suger.. it is sour.

"It’s especially unhelpful because there are many people trying to fleece inexperienced investors"Someone will call me mean because I tell them to ask better questions, but then they are the ripest of fruit for the click funnel coming their way because they will yes them to death.Honesty is a way of saving people from the mistakes a lot of us have made.

The PM and fees is just the re-occuring fees that keep the juice flowing.

Of course every market and deal may vary, so I'm just throwing out some average numbers, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze for so-called passive income.

Here's a very basic explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.
