I’m just curious??.. Record Unemployment sine The Great Depression... Entering a Forced Recession, Congress just Voted on a Second Round of Stimulus. The below Market Rent Comments. I just see this as a recipe for Disaster. All these Credit Investors reminds me of Cardone Capital.. goes on TV fires half staff sends out letters that he will sue in the event of retaliation from employees. Then few weeks later gets on TV and Begs for Help from Uncle Sammy._ ROFLMAO. Stack that Cash it’s Coning!!!

@Bob B. I’m like u. I think everybody different based off their experiences. I’d say whatever works 

@Calvin Lin the best thing I’ve been able to find around here is your typical buy for 35 put another 15 in worth 125..those deals back in time frame we’re talking about I miss those. Silver/ Gold thing I keep a few around just in case but nothing major. Gold Silver can’t eat I’d say buy the things that is always money right now. Get some land worst case u can grow a giant garden. The above mentioned deal I’m closing June 1. I think raw land is the way to go right now. Go to Grocery Store hard to find Red Meat. Anyway, just me thinking

@Calvin Lin very good. See it’s nothing magical it’s very disciplined plans thoughtfully carried out. 2014 was still a great time to be buying. Do you think it would be harder to accomplish in 2020? Mine was a wake up call.. in 2009 I overheard some bosses talking and they made a comment about some employees (they didn’t know I overheard). Made me so angry I started buying silver at 15 an ounce.. took a couple years but I sold silver at 45 an ounce and took the cash to buy my first rental all cash.

@Michelle Fenn I appreciate you carrying out the work of your late husband. In the process you found who and what you really were from what I read. My comment about the world not being about me.. you served a lot of people and continue to serve that’s what it’s all about. Money is just a direct result. Once again thanks For This!

@Michelle Fenn that right their is one of the best reads I’ve read in a long time. Exactly! We do it because we want to not out of necessity. You can’t really give something you don’t have so we grow to be more so we can give more.I got into this in the beginning with the just a money and getting things mindset. It didn’t take long for me to figure out the world wasn’t about me. It’s one thing to have the money or possessions off of an idea but in reality it’s who you become in order to achieve these heights. The skills you develop along the way and to become a good problem solver. Money is just paper, the only thing it is it serves as a witness to how valuable or invaluable the idea was. Just my philosophy. Thank you for sharing that! I think especially nowadays people could listen to it and learn if they can understand 

@Steven Ko.  I can’t believe I’m reading this. This comment is kinda Primitive in Nature. If I had a mentality like that I would be posting on a Lean Pockets Forum. Reminds me of something I saw not long ago when I sold a house. The buyer had a cute girlfriend all rubbing up on his shoulder here he is signing loan documents Trump Style. The attorney asked if he wanted his prorated portion of the rent here is trying to impress this lady and he’s like”no he can keep it”. Spoke to the tenant the very next month the Landlord or New Owner is driving to his place of employment begging for payment lol. Point is if I thought on emotion I’d be broke. I was simply stating 1.) This whole uncertainty thing is kinda comical to say the least. 2.) I have some investments I bought really really cheap and are still paying me until this day. Why? Because I’m so smart or I’m so Great. No. I do the opposite whatever body else does. Theirs different controls you have to have if you want to be successful. The comment me hitting on someone I can’t tell a lot about you based off what u said. I’ll  tell u why. What’s more important what we think or what we do? It’s more important what we think (or believe). If i know what someone believes I can tell u what they do. I just told u a lot about yourself.

I make more money off my investments than most people make off of social security or disability. My stuff is paid for so I’m the bank. So I guess I could retire if I wanted a mediocre life.

I’m certain if you play by 98 percent of society ways you’ll never retire. I’m certain you can create your own circumstances and create a life of your choosing and retire if u so choose if u take possession of your own mind.

Uncertain Times? I’m just curious what is uncertain? I’m certain people have to have food, water, shelter. I’m certain the Sun rose this morning and it’ll go down tonight. My lord I’m just curious on what everyone is afraid of?
