In official terms savers are down 3%-ish this year (and nearly 25% in the past 5 years) to inflation (but we all know the numbers are inaccurate at best) and that weakness is being compounded by a slide of nearly 1/10th in the dollars strength against other currencies in the past 12 months..This is not to mention the historical run of precious metals ie: 'money' silver and gold..as of this week silver is up to nearly $80/oz and approaching 200% on the year.

Long story short- the two “constantly shown” units are totally unrentable disasters.

It took some time, but we received an offer near our list price. 

But the rate at which the dunes retreat isn’t constant, he says — one big storm could topple the house."

They were properties I bought, held, improved over time, and later refinanced.In one case, I saw so much potential that I paid $90,000 over asking price for a property with tenants nearly 50% under market rent.

The trade-off is constantly grinding to find new business, deals can fall out, and you can burn out fast since you are working around your client's schedules. 

The low-down lender works, but the constant DTI pressure and slow pace can limit scaling.

When a deal requires constant justification or depends on best-case scenarios, it’s usually a sign that the risk isn’t properly priced in.As I’ve gotten more disciplined, I’ve noticed that having a clear threshold for execution risk matters just as much as return targets.

Here was the issue...we kept messing with it...constantly.
