Cash crops were rotting in the fields.

For those who are interested:So while I'm saving up for the next downpayment, I'm trying to invest instead of letting the money rot in a bank account.I'm trying to diversify my savings into a portfolio I've called "**** You Money Portfolio".

@Lou Ruggieri,alternative thinking:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-exterior grade carpet : because you are up north/cold floors; if flooded, can be taken out, disinfected and hosed out, dried out, replace backalternative thinkhing2:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-treated 1x1 (as "ribs"/"joists")-lay exterior grade plywood/ost on top of it-floating floor on top of that: preferred here is Allure LVP from home depot, but many available from reputable manufacturers; probably floor needs to be rated for under grade/basementsortile everything and provide rugs + non-slip underpads

I am buying Single family and doing well with it in small rural markets that have few investors, but deals are drying up, im considering a slow down in acquisition and sitting on the sidelines and stacking cash till we have a correction, I believe that correction is coming sooner than later, but im just a guy that doesnt know much.

The seller may not be aware of certain defects or hidden damage (insect damage, rot, etc.)It is buyer's responsible to complete their own inspection.

So as I state rising tide raises all ships.. but you do need to have your powder dry at the right time.

Keep running them while dry, and they will burn up.

The VA does have a pretty strict inspection of the home for termites and dry rot.

You could do sites with electric and plumbing or just dry camping self contained units like motor homes and trailers.

That way there you charge more for the wash and include the dry for free on a non coin operated machine.
