In my experience, folks who say things like this are:1)Guru snake oil salesman touting huge fantasy profits with zero risk trying to lure the next sucker into their scheme, or2)Are so full of themselves and enamored with their own investment greatness that they have bought into their own hype and actually believe that what they are doing has no market risk and can't lose, or3)Both 1 & 2 above.If I can alert newbies out there that anyone claiming to be immune from market forces and can't lose money is not to be trusted, admired, emulated, or even taken very seriously, then I have added HUGE value to this forum.

Heck, I've always touted that college student rentals were recession-proof, but the colleges around here are talking about not having on-campus classes in the fall. 

I wonder if he gets rewarded for touting mutual funds. 

For example, many folks tout NNN leases as passive...but unless the investor is throwing a dart at a board to select the investment, its more residual than it is passive.    

May kids go to UT Austin which is one of top 10 schools in nation.- low state income tax  - No state tax but we do have high property tax- lots of parks and greenery (originally from Vancouver, Canada)  - It's green but totally greenery that's why we go state parks for camps.- last but not least...lots of good restaurants!!!

its the lure of the BRRR that is so touted on this site.. 

@Gale Black   what folks fall into here is frankly they respond to these scammer adds that tout terms    rates etc etc that are NOT REAL  ... they were never REAL and are simply posted to get you to send them small money and then move to next victim. simply google your local HML who has an office that you can walk into  .. you can verify with title co or closing attornies that they acutally lend money. only up front would be 3p appraisal and maybe a credit report.. that's it NOTHING ELSE.for those in real estate that want money who can't get it from their local bank at bank rates.rates and terms are 2 to 5 points 10 to 15% interestanything less than that for short term fix and flip financing is a SCAMif you looking for buy and hold  you need 20 to 30% Cash Down if yhou do not have that your wasting your time NO lender that is legit in todays environment is going to give you 100% loan it does not exist.

I recall you touting what great buys you made when SPX was near 3800.

War zone and D grade properties have a tendency to look great on paper but in actuality they are management intensive and pay out poor - most amateur investors that invest in these areas either tout their ROI ex.

A lot of creative deals now are touting paying above market but with below market terms.
