Half the job is prep: fill and caulk, stick sand and spot texture, mask and tape.

And there's a ton of social media influencers pushing this fake narrative - rented cars, houses, jet interiors to take pictures/videos etc - some of them are pretty good at making it look real.

I don’t believe Dave is speaking to property investing when he speaks with folk, rather just advising people not to finance another car/boat/jet ski or what have you.As for financing vs cash purchases, it just depends on your goals, the latter certainly makes it cheaper but the former will allow you to acquire more, define your goals and figure out what you need to do to get there.But Dave is right, you should avoid taking debt unnecessarily and in this Dave’s opinion without goals all debt is unnecessary.
