@JR C. that’s an interesting question. I been selling a lot since January. I started selling only because I thought the Market had topped. So, to me that meant I could sell at the top buy back cheaper at a later date. I have trimmed back significantly but what I got now I intend on keeping. Actually got one I’m fixing right now, still haven’t made up my mind if I’ll rent it or flip. If I rent it out they are going to have at least 6 months to a year of rent upfront(just way I see it moving forward, with all these unknowns.) I don’t have a crystal ball but for me, I did what was right for me. I have found overtime go with your gut. Let’s look at the knowns. In a Recession what happens? Money Supply is restricted. Unemployment and these New Rental Laws suggest nothing getting better anytime soon. In fact, with all this Stimulus, Unemployment, and New Rental Laws these are Socialistic approaches to a Capitilistic Society. Which, are total opposites of each other. Research Socialistic or Communism in other countries, they have Landlords but it’s hard to get someone out. I too everything  I have is bought outright only because I want to be flexible for times like these. But I will say people are still buying so I’m more geared towards flipping right now.

@Tony Blasioli inbox me I may have someone that can help 

@Tony Blasioli your right countless tries at it. And I’m yet to see a communist Country make it happen. Communism is opposite what we all on here do. We are Free Spirited Investors/ Entrepreneurs. We are Americans and Americans won’t put up with it. Not going to happen 

@James Hamling me and a buddy had it out the other day over communism Socialism the other day. I finally got so mad I told him if u want to be a communist go live their. Then I told him I was going to take his property and he would be executed he looked at me strange then I said that’s what they did in China when the communist took over. Point being people please know what your voting for.

I’ll tell u how bad it can get.. you’ll be out their Grandpa George style with a Cigar in your mouth Telling your Tenants Either they’ll pay you or the Doctor..

@Tony Blasioli I hate you had to go through that. Looking back on that ordeal did you grow from your experiences? Obviously, you did or you wouldn’t be commenting here. It comes down to experiences. Some people didn’t lose a beat. I know the house I had a mortgage on at the time went underwater I had to let economy rebound so I could sale it. From that experience I had that became my why to become an Investor. Today, I’m Wiser, Stronger, and Better from it. When that happened I didn’t have the skills I have now. Today I choose to have more control over things.

I want to make myself clear.  I actually Yes I don’t need my pride or see I told u so stroked, I want to be Wrong. Recessions prices going down is actually worse than Inflation. And it’s bad for everyone. So I Want To Be Wrong as the World Don’t Rise and Set upon me. It’s about Everyone 

@Danny Ferrari that’s exactly right. Hell back in 2008 and for some time the” housing market sucked “is what you would read. Ok what did I know? People always need a place to rent(landlord) if prices are going down that means buy. That’s investing 101 for me. Thank God these simple ideals make sense to me. Do the opposite my Friend and you’ll more than likely be ok.

Well I’ll make a few comments to some comments that I have read. Good bad indifferent the ones that keep on doing what their doing in the end it’ll all work out. Again, theirs no right or wrong mainly because if you’ve adopted a plan that’s not working u can modify your plan. Now, for the ones that if somebody sells an inflated house. Where are they going to go? Lol First, that’s a limited mindset a mindset like that at best will give you results everybody else gets. I’m confident at least in myself I can sell anything and take the money and buy something that number one I can put money in my pocket and at same time produce a result that’s either equivalent or better than the first... I started with nothing while in the beginning it was hard I have found that when I had nothing I found creative ways to get it done. I’ve spent many of hours studying this so again whatever work so for u
