I own 4 single family rentals but like Monopoly, I plan to purchase a big red building next after my 4 green houses haha.

That’s where I thrive.

It's a really old historic building, in a great part of a thriving city.

It really is a healthy economy  with components of Agriculture, Construction, and Tech all thriving right now.

Those properties that are in that 5% that are designing the property better and adding those top amenities will continue to thrive.

You may find more value today in Dallas with a depressed oil economy, but it's still a very diversified and thriving economy.

You've got what it takes to thrive in this business, PASSION and DILIGENCE.

Now, imagine if these corporations could somehow influence our politicians; they could basically control legislation to ensure that not only do they continue to have favorable tax treatment, but they could also rig the system to ensure that true capitalism couldn't thrive, as the "little guy" would have little ability to compete.That's as big a problem as individuals not paying tax (which is clearly a major problem as well).

The town is now thriving and hasnt been annexed into the capital city although by looking at the population, it looks like it should all blend in.

I tell them they do not want extra cash flow in the face of putting their family in an environment where they do not fail safe to thrive and be comfortable.
