Hello Cozy Experts and Bigger Pockets Enthusiasts.

It's generally not received very enthusiastically by most employees....but I dig it! 

You guys are so doom and gloom, come on man, the fed (that caused all this btw) is going to save EVERYONE, Banks, credit unions, trust and mortgage companies, investment banks, underwriters, brokerage firms, hard money lenders, stock speculators, the airline, auto, restaurant,hotel, bar, retail, casino, and travel industries,money market funds, the repo market, the global fx market, the stock market (direct purchases soon), the bond market, the derivatives market (oop's sorry ronin capital), consumer spending (helicopter money only 3 weeks away), your local bowling league and oh yea, air bnb.Don't worry the largest financial event of our lifetimes, BY FAR, will be over in a jiff and you will be rested and ready to get back to work!

I used to be very enthusiastic about it, really gung-ho and I'd do research for two/three weeks solid looking at deeds (liens) on many of the properties.I once gave a tip to a friend that if he got the property we would sell it and split the value minus his costs, it was oral deal (he was good friend), I could not afford the lien ($1700 plus subtaxes for three years), he ended up getting killed by a car crossing street.

@ Michael swan - I get it that you are enthusiastic about your new strategy, and that is a good thing...we should all be....That said, I do feel your 50 vs 160 comparison is biased to the point that it can be misleading... you left out a coupe of very important considerations for the comparison to be fair and complete, things such as passive vs active, future appreciation, and depreciation, to name a few...And 2 years of smooth ride is NOTHING in RE... if you go thru a full cycle of up AND DOWN, and your strategy still works, then it is true success story...

How do casinos and state lotteries profit or fund everything they promise to fund? 

Or go to the local casinos, if you just want to gamble your money away.Think.  

Any casinos around?  

I didn't know what we were going to do after I lost my whole paycheck at the casino....er, I mean......."

But I see other seniors in my building with gambling problems (lots of Indian casinos around here), who smoke cigarettes and/or pot, who spend their money at the local bar, going out to eat, buying new clothes, etc.
