He’s kind of controversial.

Buying a single family home today > Waiting for a "good" duplex deal to come across my plate tomorrow.What I should have done instead: Start with a small duplex or triplex (contingent on price) and skipped over SFHs.This is probably one of the more controversial debates on this site: to begin investing in smaller properties or to go big.

Just what the title says. Any good deal rituals out there? I'm starting to buy one stupid thing with each deal, emphasis on stupid, that I would never waste money on otherwise if I didn't just put together a successfu...

The 2% inflation indicator is measured via the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is controversial (https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/consumerpriceindex.aspthere are many articles on this, but here’s a start) because this tool is believed to do a poor job capturing true inflation numbers and has been “adjusted” by the government numerous times over the past decades because they felt it overestimated inflation despite many other inflationary measurement tools indicating just the opposite, that is grossly underestimates inflation.

Every year they celebrate Landlord appreciation day and send you lottery tickets (But also think "Why is it only once a year" so they do it every 3 months).

Let me know what you all think BP.On Dec 15-17, 2020, a Global Real Estate Conference will honor the extraordinary contributions of a few leaders in the real estate industry at the Mirage, Las Vegas.The conference will bring together the world’s most renowned architects, brokers, developers, property managers, and design professionals to explore the latest developments and celebrate extraordinary achievements in all realms of the industry.Over the past few months, the conference’s research wing reviewed hundreds of individual profiles to shortlist deserving individuals for a major leadership award.

I celebrated the day I was able to obtain $1M in debt, because you can't celebrate becoming a millionaire without coming off as a huge D-Bag.

My opinion may be controversial.  

It would take 20+ years of negative cash flow to equal cash already out the door.There is a sweet spot but numbers are not the only thing, you need to weigh the risk and many other factors such as property location potential for appreciation, property condition...A property in Pittsburgh area with 20% down and 100/month cash flow is not a good deal but if that was in DC you would be celebrating by doing backflips.So lots to ponder but key is never over leverage

On the other hand, maybe you like Robert Kiyosaki's teachings against mutual funds, but you dislike his controversial take on buying personal residences, because you have a spouse and kids to shelter.
