Save the bullets? or Pull the Trigger?
Hello OC Fam from BP!
Before you call the cops, this is a metaphorical question to buying now or waiting for the market.
I'm a small fish trying to understand when is the best time to buy, and as history has its economic depression (eg: '07-'08) I find myself wondering if I should save up all the money I have from a 9-5 job or start the buy-and-hold strategy?
SFH is a choice to start the journey transitioning to MF properties later on.
But what are your thoughts? past experiences? would love to hear other peoples opinions.
Good day to you all!
