I acknowledge up front some of you may not agree with this line of thinking, or even admit it "could" happen in the future, but here goes anyway.Historically there have been multiple devaluations of paper currency to the point of collapse.

I gathered they were looking to divest their interest, proposed a no money down deal, using the currency or intention of joining the Board of Directors to help them down the road considering they had the largest interest in the building.

It shows you weak and strong currencies at any given time.

I think the printing and devaluing can continue for some time unless there is a real threat from #2 (foreign, crypto, etc.)

If you could play the long term game, you can really make a fortune, I've played it with Crypto as well and it has done wonders.

If you get paid in local currency, that sometimes makes things a bit more difficult but certainly not insurmountable as long as you can demonstrate consistency and gather all the necessary paperwork.

One of the big downsides to cryptocurrencies is they are still very new.

Have them pay you in cash, or cheesy poofs, or cocaine, or cryptocurrency.

Some people are better suited for certain investments such as stocks/crypto, but I personally like to hold tangible assets like RE, gold, and silver.

Not simply in terms of negotiations (because a cash buyer looks at the value of the property, while a finance buyer looks at the $Down and $Monthly and right now those are SERIOUSLY on tilt), but also in terms of Currency Risk.Regardless of what we personally think is going to happen as a result of rampant "money printing" and helicopter money economics, the thing we need to understand is that Real Estate > Cash because real estate buoys with the economy it is in (for better or worse), but Leveraged Real Estate >> Cash because you minimize your cash in an investment and use fixed-rate dirt-cheap interest rates to functionally hedge your bets against inflation.
