defrauded' is too strong...The notion that I, as an individual investor, should put my money into a system which is increasingly volatile due to the whims of large financial institutions, global politics, environmental factors, social media, etc. for a paltry 6-8% return.....it's lunacy. 

There is a separate thread at the moment with proponents of high appreciation markets.I disagree with the notion that you cannot monetize appreciation until you dispose an asset.

But once we got on the phone with him to go over these concerns we were won back to the notion that SDIRAs were the best way to go.

I don't think you are open to any data that doesn't reinforce your pre-existing notions.

This notion of starting a business where you feel the need to create a fake persona is ridiculous.

But this brings back to the notion of investing for cash flow or future equity.

When starting out give Excel, Notion, or Trello a go.

Please ignore gurus going from town to town selling you on the notion you will get rich with no money down if you give them your money. 

I think for the CoC return, it goes back to that notion of “you make money when you buy”.

What prompted this post was the notion that LTR's may be getting overlooked or overshadowed by the STR fervor that our market has been experiencing.
