Credit scores are a pillar for many lenders.

@John Rumsey David’s exactly right about The Five Pillars team.

The local Pillar to Post franchise, operated by Robert Giuseppetti, is fantastic.

Real estate is a hard asset where they are only making so much land.With real estate you get the 4 pillars or return.( depreciation, cash flow (hopefully) , appreciation (hopefully), and principal pay down ( if you have a loan and are not paying all cash ).Your tax equivalent yield can rise in the double digits on return.

Hi @Abdul R.I have had good luck with Pillar to Post.

I like to think on RE as part of a financial strategy - if it becomes weaker, even for a short while, you should have other pillars (= revenues streams) to support you.

I am probably going to look to a pillar and post house to stay consistent with the current foundation type.Any insight or references would be greatly appreciated!

Call RamJack or one of these foundation companies that place pillars in the ground for homes.

It is undervalued but has some pillars that make it slightly more attractive including the University of Chicago, proximity to Lake Michigan, the Obama Presidential Library, a proposed Tiger Woods designed golf course, and increasing retail outlets.

I recently used Pillar to Post for the SFH I purchased.
