l Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.I encourage you to read the surrounding verses as well to get a better understanding because I just picked out a couple verses.

@Russell BrazilSage advice Russel Brazil.I d urge people to run scenarios on their personal finances, things like - what if they lost their jobs, had elevated vacancy rates on rentals, had to drop rents by 30 - 40%.

I wouldn't elevate it & probably just not interact with that neighbor. 

@Braxton PalmerAre you saying it is $400 to get an elevation certificate or that is the actual annual insurance premium. 

I'm really hoping to develop long-lasting professional relationships in order to establish myself as an international property investor.Thanks in advanceRyanIt really depends on your goals, if you are looking for more cash flow and slightly more elevated risk, go for markets like Baltimore,Pittsburgh and other Midwest/rust belt cities.

My goal with BiggerPockets is to get connected with people who can share in my knowledge and love of Real Estate and elevate it to the next level.

Hahahah WTFI love it you filthy animal lol 🤣I know it's illegal but I would tare down $40,000 worth of work for lack of payment.Have seen it done many times lolI started my career as a laborer in Sydney.Swept floors for 4 years and carried sheetrock, studs, etc...High rise office fit-outs.Could never take the elevator with the white collar folks as we "where" filthy animals.Funny thing is, I made more money than most of the suit and tie guys 🖕Construction in Oz is very well paid and not much shady biz in not getting paid.But yes, treated like S#@% over there also.

The bank was very eager to foreclose on my house, and seek a deficiency judgement in spite of the fact that I had been paying PMI (Spare me the "PMI isn't for you" speech. 

I worked in corporate sales for 25 years and sold elevators for 17 years for the same company.

I think we are going to come on the market at 1.95  exicted about it.. we put an elevator in it..I was in a client of mine in Singapores home in Feb and he had an elevator in his 3 story home .. ( and a single family detached non lease hold home in Singapore is some big buckaroos.. but anyway it was glass like a hotel kind of cool.I was also toying with a Tesla solar roof and power wall if I could get that by the BAR.. probably not though .. lets just keep this market going for a few more years please.. :)
