It is super important that if you were to leave the unit that it will cash flow enough to survive a market correction.

Your ability to adjust to provide what the market wants is what helps you survive market changes.

All in all, I will survive this economically, it just may set me back a year or two on my investment and financial goals. 

I've lived through the Cuban missle crisis, the assassination of John Kennedy, the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther KIng, the Cold War, the "Jump the Shark" of Fonzi, the gas lines of the early 1970's, the Watergate crisis, the end of Gilligan's Island, hyper inflation, Jimmy Carter's "Malaise", race riots, hurricanes, earth quakes, 9/11, 2000 crash, 2008 crash, good grief, I can't go on, too many to mention.Yep, the economy survived, I'm still here, the world moved on ( except for walkmans now selling for $32,000) and nowhere was I promised a free ride or an easy life.As they say in "Men in Black" "Kay: "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it!"

As a single guy, you could easily survive in a two-bedroom apartment.

WeWork was going to take over the commercial office real estate market and that was a huge boondoggle even though they still survive.

Its crazy right now with landlords having no power and fear tenants will just stop paying rent at anytime but we just need to ride the wave and survive until courts gave some power back.

That's great but now lets get to the real world of new agents struggling to survive and how they operate.CASH is KING.Show them the money.Right or wrong on how to sell a property has many opinions.As a seller you should look at all legal advantages to out sell your property over the competition as in many markets it is a buyers market.As a head broker I can put a co-op of 4 and still save 2 percent.Heck I can put it at 6 co-op.I don't care if I factored that in as a cost and a game plan going in.

Figure out a way to survive until your marketing works.

Flexibility and adaptability are keys to surviving no matter where the market goes.
