But your resolution to that is go to buy hard assets that beat inflation; bitcoin, gold.

Sure, it will take a few days but worth its weight in gold. 

Even Pella having there own store front's, I had account with Pella and I could price compete with Pella stores themself, think on that nugget a bit. 

If you're really worried about the stability of the economy and the world, buy Gold lol - its universal

When I closed on my first duplex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in August 2017, "the 2% Rule" was the gold standard for determining whether a property would cash flow.  

Quote from @Billy Smith: Having all or most of your rentals paid off is a great feeling with the cash flow rolling in .You know have a bigger shovel to buy more properties , folks get the fever want more more dam the debt full speed ahead .I read a lot saying what  is the rate of the  note ,you could deploy the money in  ,gold ,stocks etc....With just a couple rentals paid off in A -B area I put my kids though Division 1 state college.  

Lots of nuggets on there but not all episodes focus on REI.That said, Long Island is super competitive but your down payment could land you a deal.This week, we went under contract for a multifamily in Lynbrook and the investor put down just $65K.

This is a very important little nugget.  

, if that was your purchase price and only put $10k to rehab , where did you find this gold mine in 2019!

I wish I could make it work with sub 100k properties, but that's usually fools gold (especially in 2023) and just not where you find long term success.
