We had very cheap rent and the house appreciated literally hundreds of thousands while we lived there, and that was during the global financial crisis (which only really slowed things down here a little, but appreciation didn't stop).

Gas prices are going to go up more and more as global warming taxes get implemented more and more.

If anything it helps with global warming being green. 

A lot of people here use sprint as I think you pay an extra 5$ a month for global use. 

In particular in the lower price points below 250k.Looks like the world economy is starting to slow down a bit, bond yield curve inversion in March suggests the fed should cut rates to support weakening investor faith in the economy, global shipping is down etc. - so what could that mean for real estate?

Economical data both globally and nationally have been slowing since last summer.

HI Cody, A good strategies to implement:- business lines of credit because utilization up to your credit limits on these assuming they dont also report to personal trans/equi/exp bureaus will not affect your personal fico scores- obtain personal lines of credit and credit cards with no cash advance fee's too despite them possibly affecting your ficos because these can be the last line of defense if you really need quick capital- on each BRRR you do, try to get lines of credit on the newly created equity post rehab so you in your wake of BRRR deals you have more and more equity access to your properties fund subsequent deals in the future- a more advanced strategy is to utilize commercial blank lines of credit as they are larger and more efficient and can tie up multiple trust deed attachements and properties into one CLOC to use as opposed to have many small LOC's on each property- keep your DTI debt to income ratios low, keep your DSCR or global DSCR high (total cashflow over your total personal and business liabilites at 1.25X+) so that you're always bankable- work on personal ficos and personal credit as well just so you have flexibility to obtain capital/financing on either business or personal sidesHope that helps but that will set you free above if maintain within a comprehensive investing strategyBest,

Having a high income or net worth ("global factors") doesn't seem to factor in (I imagine it would factor in if personal finances were negative though!).   

I come from the global B2B marketing world and I think that knowledge could help me succeed at whole selling.

@Ryan WilliamsHey Ryan, I'm an asset manager for a global bank.I've worked as, and on behalf of, the largest institutional landlords as well as smaller private landlords.The natural path that you'll see is analyst -> associate -> asset manager, or something along that path.Mine was a bit different but nonetheless learned similar skills in underwriting, analyzing and strategically (re)positioning assets.
