I can find a nugget of information that guides me to understand where we are in an interest rate or buy/sell cycle. 

The golden rules don’t change:No upfront Zelle/Venmo/wire for a loan.

You probably mentioned that Greece is the best from the residency angle because it's one of the few remaining EU countries that hasn't abolished it's golden visa and it still has a property option while Portugal, who has the best program has excluded real estate.

As long as the rent is enough to cover the monthly payment, you are golden.

In my experience these groups have been golden for great, on the ground knowledge.

If you’re aiming for Midwest value-add flips/live-in projects, I’d lean toward extracting some equity (refi, HELOC, or partial land sale) rather than dumping the golden loan.

You tube golden letters and start sending them out.

The golden visa sounds interesting, but def oit of my price range.

And, in my opinion, more importantly, the lurkers who never comment, now believe they have the "golden key" of information.As you already know, there is so much more to this, in order to stay out of trouble over the long term. 

On the rare occasion someone has their own, we tell them tough nuggets - they can sell or store theirs or rent somewhere else.
