R&D is like split testing, trial and error is "I'll be damned to spend the time investing in knowledge so let's just hope we survive the guessing". 

I never want to have less than that in savings, because in the event of a huge market turn I want to be able to bail myself out and survive.

Once I get better at purchasing and adding to my portfolio, I know I will have the knowledge to be able to survive without needing the benefits of cost segregation.

The average company only survives for ten years, while even large companies typically last just 18 years.

This is basic case where bad sponsor doing high risk investment in bad times …I was one of the small investor for very large SF rental fund out of Florida but got litigated by SEC three years ago and handled by receivership court now.three years later we got at least out 80 percent money back LOLBtw , every new kid can make money in 2016, but if they can survive 2022 that’s your guy :)So don’t afraid to make lawsuit against these company …Carlos seems to be more experienced in this than me, so feel free to disregard my comment at your discretion.  

We were so busy surviving, legacy building, financial planning or investing never came up for consideration (for most).

What do you think the odds are that a strategy like this will survive the next economic reset? 

I know the "survive till 25" crowd was banking on interest rates going down to the 4's or low 5's next year and that was going to save these deals.

Once someone moves beyond the survival line, they tend to become more teachable and coachable, making financial education and other developmental programs more impactful.Financial Education: Our organization is designed to provide financial literacy as a core program.

@Paul AzadI have no idea how their funds are doing but in speaking with people in the space several GP’s are trying to push a fund right now to survive the next 3-5 years and raise capital before they lose most of the LP’s funds as once that happens raising $ will be near impossible I am not saying this is the case in this instance and cannot comment on the above, just sharing some common industry knowledge on what some are doing
