New folks make bad offers, or don't do dilligence thoroughly and end up with bad properties they struggle to get cash flowing;   old and soon collapsed sewer line, flat roofs (stay away from flat roofs),  old plumbing,  landlord paid water,  old applicances,  old R22 ACs,,,  etc etc.   

Don't fall for the advice that where you live is too expensive or about to collapse.

Bank of America just announced zero down payment, zero closing cost, and no minimum credit score mortgages for Black and Hispanic first-time homebuyers. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-30/bofa-tests-no-down-payment-mortgages-for-minority-communitiesI’m all for giving people opportunities, but isn’t this reminiscent of the kind of policies that lead to the 2008 mortgage collapse?

I foresee a bunch of issues if that thing collapses.

Aside from the risk we take, If there were no landlords (to pay all those property taxes) every state government and school system would collapse.

Never mind whoever was living in the laundry facilities, and the endless list of small repairs that would be required just to keep it renting, or the fact that it's missing one swimming pool advertised, and one of the other pools is collapsing..

They couldn’t care less if apartment building prices collapsed. 

A cyber war and hyper inflation with the collapse of the economy is more likely. 

If the U.S. dollar collapses, the whole world will be in trouble.If you believe in hyperinflation coming soon, the smartest thing to do is put your $ into assets.
