Where I see some disconnect is so many on BP that are so focused on buying RE doors that they basically live well below there means and have all this focus on rentals etc and they miss out on a lot of things there is to do in life..

I was looking in Columbus OH but the market is so saturated and it's been difficult for me to find cash-flowing deals there.

The estate agent tells me that banks normally undervalue their valuations and that it is great that the valuation is so high (while still being lower than the asking price!)

The rate of collection is so low many landlords do not even bother suing.

My knowledge is so centric to the doing, it's just a new aspect of it all.

That calculation is so simplified that it doesn't even bother to factor into the equation any costs  and that $200K just magically appears out of thin air. 

If what you're doing is so wonderfully pure and I'm just too stupid to understand your mastery of the industry why do you have to constantly lie, mischaracterize and misrepresent to raise money?

It's been great to watch you do this over the years. 2026 stabilizing is so smart.

Spread your eggs between multiple pockets rather than everything into one property that may or may not appreciate and cashflow as you forecasted.The only exception that rule would be in Austin, if you live there, or in Phoenix AZ just because the growth in the Phoenix metro is so strong and you can still cashflow there. 

Its why for all these folks who work with investors in some sort of syndication mode pre emptive REAL communications or reputation management is so critical and it appears many missed that boat and have allowed their companies rep. ( whether deserved or not ) Trashed.
