The connections made along the way can avoid a lot of speed bumps when opportunity strikes.

The eviction moratoriums are the bigger problem--not because landlords are anxious to evict, but because it creates an unlevel playing field that leads to a problem with willingness to pay, as seen with the various rent strikes called for by some on social media and elsewhere. 

I, personally, don't think Saudis have the kind of output they're bragging to have (remember the strike on their major field in 2019 that shut half of their production down?)

Lately, I am striking out and your post was spot on for me !

We could see four cuts this year, putting us within striking distance of that 0%, which basically gives us no more ammunition in terms of rates, and puts the entire economy at tremendous risk should we see a recession with rates near 0%. 

There have been some posts on social media about a rent strike- particularly targeting one of the big companies since a lot of folks don't have warm fuzzy feelings about the guy that owns it- but that does not seem to be gaining much support.  

I have been striking up convos with co-workers, family, aquaintences, etc...

Regarding the NII comments earlier...there is actually a case in the Supreme Court that MAY strike down the NII as unconstitutional.   

As Warren Buffet says, investing is a no strikes called game.

I feel conflicted about late fees.I think the balance most owners (myself included) want to strike is to:a) make the late fee large enough to be a deterrentb) small enough that it doesn't create a big financial burden for the tenant.Since I am in Northern California the rent by itself is already a huge financial burden for many tenants.
