If you want to throw caution to the wind to feel better about yourself as a global citizen, more power to you.

My why is to allow me to do what I want with MY TIME so I can do the things that are important to me.....family, travel, and NOT RELYING ON AN EMPLOYER to provide me a ROBUST LIVING.Now since my goal involves PREDICTABLE AND SUSTAINABLE income, my emphasis is POSITIVE CASH FLOW properties.  

To invest in stocks one was to be more intunned with global economics.I personally like the aspect of real estate because you can buy an investment and it could provide a monthly return while you still own it verses a stock you have to cash out to make your profit.

When you open up to a global context especially.  

If the tenant stops paying or the global economy crashes...you're in deep doo-doo.

They are may be off with numbers, they may put too much emphasis on their own ability and they may view this as nothing more than a business transaction.

The global pandemic will have much more of an impact on real estate than any one politician can make. 

When I look at global debt, the dollar crisis, the RETIREMENT crisis seems to be the big pink elephant in the room no one wants to discuss, I sit up in my chair a bit more... 

If I were you, I would find an experienced wholesaler in your area... emphasis on "experienced."

I like the emphasis on having a calculated response prepared for addressing the most likely issues, rather than being reactive.
