Intelligence is the ability to simultaneously hold two opposing views and yet remain sane and productive.Everyone here who is bashing the OP suffer from cognitive dissonance.It probably hurts because it reveals what they’ve been subconsciously ignoring.For example,Like tons of other BP users,I’ve read so much material here over the years touting the superiority of large apartment deals over smaller ones.It’s a key reason Grant Cardone’s podcast remains the most popular in BP’s entire podcasting history.However,Having just made the switch myself and had the first hand experience,the reality is way different.No one remembers to tell you how much bigger the surprise expenses are with the bigger deals.One roof,one boiler needing replacing could simultaneously wipe out your reserves PLUS entire year’s cash flow EVEN after accounting for CapEx and repairs in your BP calculator for your original LOI.At least with my duplexes,I can replace a roof for $7000.And all my duplexes don’t ever need new roofs all at once.My apartment’s roof cost $30k just last month.Again,No need shooting the messenger.Appreciate the little voice that keeps you humble.

The respiratory problems are just the beginning, and expand to include several body systems including learning/cognitive problems.

To me its just rife with cognitive biases that are not known till after the fact.       

If something happens contrary to their thesis the magic of cognitive dissonance kicks in.

Dad is completely out of his mind especially since he is entirely bed ridden in a horrible nursing rehab center but Ron had enough cognitive function to know what his son was doing and did nothing as he suggested more and more.

Their cognitive schema or life long financial ladder has been leaning for soooooo long against the wrong building, they are not able to think on the level I am speaking. 

As someone who is a real estate investor because I can't stand having "the man" telling me how to spend my time, I definitely experienced a bit of cognitive dissonance when I realized that I AM "the man" to my tenants. 

There are investment opportunities in every market if you are diversified and cognitive of what is happening.

Anchoring is a well-documented cognitive bias that describes the human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the "anchor") when making decisions.
