He knows his market that I am investing in much better than I do, he knows investing, and he is worth his weight in gold.

However, the gold is behind the house. 

Some will move to stocks and some to gold, but I think a lot of that capital will flow into real estate, farmland, etc.Just my $0.02Good luck out there to everyone!

W-2 employee with long job work history(longer than a year) at a Fortune 500 employer, with a job that is hard to be downsized or lost easily, is the gold standard.

The market has shifted from the old "gold standard" of 70% of ARV minus rehab as a solid number for the investor/ buyer.

Real estate is considered a hard asset like gold and usualy does well in times of uncertainty. 2008 of course is an exception as we all remember, but it started as a mortgage and housing crisis (over supply, lack of demand, debt collaps) that became an economic recession. 

The answer is the Federal Reserve and Fiat Money (money not backed by gold, but by the government).

I’m wondering how many of you do this more as a business and not because you can’t go to bed without talking about it with your wife/husband.Tell me...Your though will help me and other readers gauge how “In Love” we should be..I value each of your opinions like Gold thank you for reading.Your friendJames

I’ve heard 90%+ occupancy being the gold standard and to steer clear of properties in neighborhoods with lower occupancy averages.

That alone was worth its weight in gold and lets me sleep at night.
