Antoine Joseph ,Clsing deals with none of your own money - done every day :) This game is a function of your intellectual wealth.

I love the idea; intellectually embrace it - but reality just kills the whole thing...

If I were to want to maintain my intellectual property on this, what type of legal representation/counsel should I search out before doing so. 

It's an intellectual exercise with little practical application. 

My gut feeling is, if you're good at math, then you enjoy the challenge on the intellectual aspect.

I moved here from Oregon last year and have been astounded by the intellectual generosity of the folks around here!

This is an intellectual exercise that has no practical value. 

I think claiming political ideology as the reason people are leaving California is intellectually lazy because the situation is much more complex than that.

In other words, if a given city traded at 10 cap in the last downturn, but today trades at 5.5, doest reversing the cap rate from 5.5 to 6.5 (100 bps) intellectually honestly illustrate the worst case?

Is it realistic to expect (given a strong work ethic and reasonable intellectual capacity) that I could achieve financial freedom in 5-10 years using only the BRRRR method?
