Can you imagine, I wouldn't be able to enter the property for fear of an attack and the existing fence would not contain this giant.

One major thing I learned is having a giant buyers list.

There are always shifts.....hotels in urban centers, that depending on giant conferences, dependent on business travel are hurting....resort hotels in FL doing well.Some office buildings are hurting....I think Blackstone just allowed one to default in Manhattan.Appears to be a fairly significant migration from West Coast and NE coasts to South and Southeast.....that probably won't be overnight...so crash maybe not the right word, but maybe shift....Still lots and lots and lots of cash pouring into real estate....probably out of stock market it seems, certainly out of fixed income.Crash could depend on so many things we can't predict or see coming.....war in Middle East, Putin presses the button, North Korea starts something, China trys to take Taiwan, maybe some kind of tech AI or ML, wipes out middle managers that have all bought houses in certain price ranges, maybe a certain generation demands WFH...so they can live anywhere...not just old traditional job centers....maybe today's students don't need to go to university centers like Boston, Berkeley, Austin, and all of the sudden you have 50,000 students in a city that no longer need housing.

A lender can juggle the fire insurance or rate or factors to change the DTI by 1-3% but to change from 51 down to 43 is a giant difference or 8%

This is going to depend on a ton of factors A) Houston is a giant area with a wide spread of varying cost of real estate and you better know what is what because it can make or break your deals.

How many people go in for sit down Chinese food for example vs take out....Often I see these giant caverns of empty tables.#2. 

While now its not a big thing but in the last crisis of 09-11 this is a giant issue

One is not better than the other, in fact neither may further your goal and be a giant waste of money as far as learning to "Invest" goes.And having the knowledge to hammer swing the repairs (Sweat Equity) will not make up for poor judgement on what to buy, or what to do with the property, pre-flip.

Vermont should have a giant sign over the interstate that says "Your money's not good here," LOL.

Does anyone have experience buying an LLC that has rental properties to avoid property taxes on giant increases in home value upon updated appraisals?
