Betting that is going to happen again while new smart participants have entered the market(sophisticated players like black rock) and retail (everyone who watches finance youtube knows about real estate) I think is a foolish bet.

No point in having a policy if you bend the rules- it's gotta be black and white.

If not done correctly, they will pull out since black-out drapes are rather heavy.

@Charles PerkinsI am a fan of the slow and steady systematic step by step path to investing success.Many of the gurus say Go Big or Go Home.I say if you are a beginner skier - do you go to the top of the mountain and jump off a cliff going down a black double diamond slope?

Paint the cabinets white, add black pulls, change the countertops to white quartz.

Flagstaff is beautiful, but cold in the winter with a lot of snow (it dumps and then melts & re-freezes - watch out for black ice), is mainly a college town, and is very cliquey (if you were not born and raised there, you will always be considered an outsider by the locals). 

For travel nurses, you can ask for their contract, but even then, I've told my travel nurse guests they can black out their pay.

I don't think anybody addressed your specific question.This is not a black-and-white situation.

If you are just looking for a turnkey rental, there are probably better deals out there.I would also advise that with an unstable job, tying up a big chunk of cash into a property, might not be the wisest play to build a foundation for later.I thought since my job is not stable, with paying cash and let's say there is another black swan like covid or maybe for some reason the place is not rentable, it will be more difficult to pay the mortgage each month.

The trick is to spade out the flower bed, throw in some black Mulch, buy some flowers I'd leave them in the plastic pots, because they're going to die anyway.When they start to droop, pull the plastic pots out and put new ones in- still of the Plastic pots.
