We're due for a shift in that trend, in which case, if you get stuck with a property that doesn't cash flow you're going to 1: not make any sort of appreciation profit for a long time bc you bought at a peak2: enjoy negative cash flow while you're not making your appreciation money, or possibly losing more money to depreciation.

I just happened to find BP and read Rich Dad, Poor Dad in July of 2018... and it shifted my mindset.

Luckily the market has not shifted to cause a hit on the profit projections.

Wood frame construction withstands seismic activity much better (because it can flex and remain standing) than brick or block (which tends to shift and fall).

All of the structural issues with the crawlspace are all related in some way, the foundation cracks may have shifted the structure a little bit causing the piers to rotate and lean and then the piers, when they leaned, maybe caused the girder to lose proper bearing.

I am concerned because it looks like the cracks include a shift of about an inch or so but I have zero experience with these things.

In my limited experience the bank data is for reconciling against the data you've already modeled in QBO through invoices, bills, and recurring transactions to automate their production, generally speaking the bank data isn't a source for that info, that's at least the mind shift I had to go through.

I'm currently shifting some of my assets into small single family homes in a part of the country where real estate is still pretty cheap.

I am considering shifting my investment plans over to buy-and-hold commercial multifamily.

Working in South Carolina will allow me to have a "safer" job that will keep me less actively working while on shift.
