@Shiloh Lundahl In response to your rant
#1 Im not "offended", I just have a difference in opinion. Great thing about living in a free world is that I can have my own opinion and disagree with yours.
#2 I didn't say I dont have savings, Just that its not a mandate
#3 there are many reasons why an adult over 20 or 30 may not have savings. For example, when I was diagnosed with cancer the first time, I had great insurance. Covered the majority of my medical bills. Then my mother passed away, She did not have insurance, but of course the bill still needed paid. Changed jobs in the mean time because I had needed to be closer to my mother. Then I got diagnosed with cancer for the second time. Guess who didn't have such great insurance and had to pay out of pocket? During my second round with cancer, I spent my last $2000 on a **** property in Toledo. Lived in hit for a year while doing some work on it (IE no rent payment, so I saved that money to pay my medical bills). Sold that house for pennies, but used the money I got to buy a Duplex. Sold the duplex and bought a triplex and 5 unit next door to each other. Sold them and bought 17 single family homes as well as the home I still live in.
Im no longer cash poor, but if someone had told me I shouldn't have been in real estate without 20k in savings, I wouldn't be where i'm at today.There are many different methods and it comes down to your drive, your education, your exit strategy and your end goal.
