I still hold a number of cryptocurrencies, but if you are just speculating for a future payday, I’d recommend a very small percentage of your portfolio go to cryptocurrency, and instead stick with tried-and-true investments like real estate.

@Jonathan Greene this is very true. 

It's pitched as easy, guaranteed money on low-entry properties.The reality, of course, is that's too good to be true.

Are you looking to do a true STR?

Because of rising interest rates, returns have not been as strong on properties purchased 2020 to 2023That's true. 

I consider myself a true go getter, if there isn’t a way then make a way. 

Last week I received a letter from my insurance company stating they were going to discontinue my policy due to the current condition of the property (missing siding) and due to the fact that I am not currently living there (which is not true).I contacted my insurance broker and due to the fact my current insurance company disclosed the cancellation, they could not find another company that would insure the property.I just filed a dispute with the state.

At the same time isn't less true that most duplexes are not in the MOST desirable areas if you have a family.

I raise this because there’s no true regulations and it’s truly the Wild West of lending with tons of questionable participants.
