We do our due diligence and buy properties correctly because we can afford to have a property cash flow 10-11 months a year and still come out ahead.While I agree that someone who is too gung-ho about using others money can benefit from hearing about frugality, and planning for missed income, I somehow think that we don't need to warn a 500 lb person about anorexia.If the man is REALLY focused on in the free and clear, why not expand his horizons just a tad?

Originally posted by Bienes Raices:Basically I am posting here because things seem to be reaching a 2008-style panic level again in the last few weeks.Consider that the mainstream media doesn't have many other major issues to cover these days -- Casey Anthony trial is over, the debt ceiling issue has been resolved, no major sporting events on the horizon, etc.Also consider that campaigning for 2012 is just getting underway, and the economy is a big hot button topic that many Presidential contenders want to keep in the forefront of our minds (it helps their chances of election).Once there is something else to occupy the "Breaking News" portion of mainstream media, and once we get through November 2012, other things -- wars, celebrities, ridiculous political arguments over things like gay marriage, etc -- will once again take over the mainstream consciousness.
