Macro economics are used by the faint of heart looking for a reason not to invest.

for the average person starting out it can be pretty tough to have one house here one house there etc.To me these markets at least were values are stagnate for the most part are interchangeable and it comes down to the team and PM.. those are the folks that will make your investment succeed or not.. the macro of a given economy simply in my mind does not flow down to owing a rental or two..    

One more obvious example of my microfocus and your macro lens on this business.For those who have done the wise things in my space, who built carefully knowing the day would come when the wolf came to the door, when the crisis passes I think we're going to be looking at incredible opportunities.

I read a post by Ali Boone somewhere on BP, and came across three factors to consider before jumping into investing, and those were Numbers, Macro Economic of the area, and the quality of PM.I'm a numbers guy so I like to crunch numbers first to see what kind of cashflow I can generate and what my IRR looks like.
