As far as preparing for the next recession you can hoard cash, gold,etc and I don't think any of that will hurt you a bit.

@Joseph Diandrea It's all in GOLD buried in my backyard!  

To get to the point, I'd be doing scopes in Xact, which is the gold standard in insurance estimating.

My video and blogs will take a long time to snowball into something.Craigslist used to be gold, but they got rid of HTML ads and hide contact phone.

Because a real estate purchase is typically wrought with obstacles to overcome prior to closing, the peace of mind of knowing private capital is readily available is worth its weight in gold for some investors.

I have gold & silver ones, so I can match whatever's needed.

Jeff,I came from Gold Street, but that does not mean I am loaded with Gold.Actaully it was Oro Grande St which in Spanish obviously means Gold St.

This is where a good lawyer and a good accountant is worth their weight in gold.

They kept "picking" people at random from the group, ok I gotta paint this picture for you - the people who answered the ad to work in real estate (like me) were wearing one of those sticky name tags you buy for $5 at Staples, the "PROFESSIONALs" were wearing Nouveau Riche gold name tags.

From what I've learned Short sales, REO properties, and Foreclosures can be a potential gold mine when it comes to flipping homes, but is there anything to be scared of?
