As I have often said, I am so very grateful for my buildings and the financial opportunities they give me.I am not a king- I am not some benevolent sovereign who looks down upon his subjects and decides that I shall bestow onto them some gift and trumpet it from the hilltops so that all shall know of my goodness.I am not in need of love- I have family, and as such I know the strength of that bond and the unconditional love that goes with it.

One of the strengths of RE investing is to outsource the debt (ie. get someone else to pay it down). 

For stocks to ever reach 2009 levels, you'd need two things: 1) The most massive selloff ever seen by both big money and individuals2) Massive deflationMassive deflation could happen for a short period as long as consumers aren't spending...but with the strength of the dollar still as the reserve currency, it likely won't happen. 

Businesses after the virus attack are not nearly at full strength which is keeping the unemployment rate up.There are people that are afraid of putting their home up for sale but will need to wait a little more to get more accurate data. 

This is of course risky, but you have very ambitious goals and it'll take risk to get there on your own.2) Focus on finding investing partners whose strengths are your weaknesses and visa versa. 1+1=3 in this game and, so long as you partner with the right people, the smaller piece of the larger pie should go a lot further towards feeding your lifestyle.Good luck and feel free to reach out if you think I can help!

This all depends on the property, your financial strength, cash reserves and the lender.

There are a lot of ways to be successful in this industry, and you need to assess your strengths and just focus on those.

I want to cater to all clients strengths and weakness and provide the best options for lenders, contractors, attorneys, and insurers.

You might have enough strength to swim to shore yourself, but can you drag your friend with you?

My only regret is I didn't try and take advantage of that opportunity sooner, and now i know that my other two partners share that feeling.My advise is to be patient, work at what you are good at and build your strengths, finance may not be what you bring to the table but you have plenty to bring.
