Again you are making a passive aggressive assault and inference on Kiyosaki's information as being common sense knowledge "the sky is blue and sometimes grey", which I again call out as incorrect and not accurate as it is not common knowledge what so ever.

@Matt Stricklen I've been contemplating the same question, but from the hacker side of the equation more so, and I think I've worked out some ways it could work in an equitable manner.

Hello BP Family,After contemplating for a few minutes the type of impression I wanted to make with my introduction I simply realize that if this community truly was going to become a part of my family I should be transparent from the start.After immigrating from Mexicali,  Baja California in Northern Mexico I dedicated all of my effort to school which earned me a place at UC Berkeley for my college career.

As a matter of fact, I consider it "assault and battery with a deadly chemical substance."

This is assuming you have not crossed the 10 mortgage rule and each property in the portfolio is sufficient security against its own note.If you find yourself in a situation where you need to contemplate pledging more than one property to obtain a loan ensure you know what your terms are.

When I was contemplating individual heat in a place with steam and larger apartments, my number one choice was hydronic ceiling radiant off a boiler.

Contemplating a few flips to help the capital situation, to possibly help fund the purchase of more buy and hold properties.

Victory goes to those who do....not to those who merely contemplate it.

If you are more leaning towards single family flips and buy/hold or wholesale etc... ignore what I'm saying.The reason I bring this up is last year I was contemplating the same thing.

I do agree with you and understand that investors can hedge against FX risk.I also agree with your final point above, in that novice investors better be really educated (and possibly alongside experienced partners) before contemplating diving into the Manhattan market.
