Hey Max Silver welcome to BiggerPockets!

Any gold, silver, oil or natural gas there?

You learn more from the failures and what not to repeat again.Unless someone was born with a silver spoon in their mouths most peoples lives have not been " a whole bowl of cherries" without some occasional pits.The perseverance and never giving up makes you look back when things get really good that it is all worth it.

First a humbled thanks to Joffrey Long for the forward thinking to start this mindtrust.This is the best and brightest minds of Bigger Pockets.Thank you Sam W. and Kyle B. for discussing the wise fundamentals of our game.I have learned from all of you, and @Ben for the WSJ synopsis.You asked for potential safe havens and exit strategies during the downturn.Some off the top of my head:Notes, performing at 10% plus (this strategy learned from Will Barnard), and non-performing at ridiculous discounts.Buy and Hold properties in stable markets.Hard Assets like (Gold & Silver)Just sidelining and waiting for the mathematically solid deals (hats off to Sam)What say you all?

Welcome to biggerpockets Under the " learn " tab you will locate plenty of silver / golden informatione.g.- podcasts , blogs , beginner guide , etc -Keyword analyzer tool( example California , southern California , landlords , etc )

That's why I'd rather take my capital and invest in physical assets like gold, silver, copper, oil, natural gas, and real estate.

Screaming Eagle and all the rest.

Go Eagles!

Inflation will cause all hard assets to rise, real estate, gold, silver, oil, etc.Borrowers will benefit.Lenders will suffer, both private and institutional.
