Is it survivable?

We can argue all day as to if Bitcoin will make it or be the AOL of this new world but Bitcoin does not need to survive for block chain to be important.

Some even come straight from their accounts.Maybe I just have reliable tenants or a good mail service, but it has been a bullet proof and an easy ritual for me and my tenants; even  if still old school, it is a  durable process that works with any tenant, at any level of tech or financial sophistication, even avoids any tech glitch, is low fee, and survives any bank merger, bank policy rule (or fee), etc. 

As part of an asset protection strategy and potential refi getting cash without the 'cash out' triggers, I self-encumbered with a mortgage to one of my entites.My strategy has been bashed as most likely not being able to survive a lenders sniff test.

If you're like @Erik Estrada and work you butt off everyday, never stop learning, and never stop prospecting then you'll survive this more challenging time in the market and reap some serious rewards when things loosen back up! 

@Kyle Curtin congrats on surviving year 1! 

Mom/Pop in C and D markets can survive without them since in a town of 1,000 to 50,000 the customers can find you. 

You mentioned moving back to your former town... seems like a good thing to consider. 1) Unless it were my ONLY option (like we couldn't survive otherwise), I wouldn't want to have outsiders living in my family space if I had small children. 2)I would not want to rely on tenants to help me keep my primary home.  

I survived it and am stronger because of it.

While the poor and middle classes haven't seen their income rising much over the last decades, they're surviving thanks the deflation resulting from technological progress and ever cheaper goods being produced in countries like China or Vietnam (although that has been destroying many of their jobs).
