There are many people on instagram and other platforms selling courses appearing in a certain image, selling a lifestyle that is not 100% congruent with reality and sometimes reality can strike hard and shatter perceived illusions. 

Right now, we're a bunch of strangers commenting on your post - we don't know your background, financial situation, W2 job, lifestyle (single, married, kids, etc), risk tolerance etc (not that you should share all that information on a public forum). 

During Covid, I followed his podcasts religiously.

It also depends on your goals and how safe/aggressive you want to be, how much you want it to earn, and what meshes best with your lifestyle. 

I wouldn't say that people in general like one type over another, but rather people in general cohorts (single, married - no kids, married - with kids, etc.) tend to gravitate towards certain types of properties based on their lifestyles.

The other one is not in California, quit W2 at age 37 scaled from 2014 to 2021 with 5 duplexes, quit W2 during COVID, lives a frugal lifestyle and benefitted from the huge increase in property values and low interest rates. 

Kids, lifestyle & so many other decisions all wrapped up in this decision.

With a income of 100K you should be back on your feet quickly, assuming you understand how to live a frugal lifestyle and be investing in less than 5 years.Pay off all your debts, save money by living a super frugal lifestyle and rebuild your credit.

But, ultimately, it could work if you don't mind a low ROI.It could make sense if you look at a lifestyle rather than an investment purchase and you're just happy to cover your costs.

Those frauds just buy 'carbon credits' so they can feel better about themselves, they don't really care or they would alter their lifestyles instead of pounding the rest of us with the guilt, Lol....And if we look at the temps for the last millenium instead of the last century, they can show that although we are in a temporary upswing, we're really on a slide into a colder era.
