I have a huge stockpile of boxes of tile, fixtures, and other stuff I hope I'll use eventually.

As for me, I'm just going to sit back, keep stockpiling cash, and wait for the carnage so I can pick up some killer deals!

I'm positioning for a correction in the next 24 months, and I'm stock pilling cash to prepare for it.

Rather than invest they simply stockpile cash in real estate.

It is to amass a stockpile of liquidity (*Financial Runway*) that creates options.

I think house hacking is a great strategy to lower ones expenses while paying down mortgage debt and that it works well in an appreciating market allowing the owner to sell the home in a couple of years without paying taxes all while stockpiling savings from the rents of the tenants.

I’ve heard a few stories of people developing lots only to find out all the vegetation from nearby developments had been stockpiles or muck.

They will either be the buy and hold investor stock piling "inventory" (so to say) and then those selling it off at a premium. 

After that, anything after PITI/repairs will go to the stockpile for Property #2's DP, along with any savings I have left over from my 9 to 5.I wonder though, what I will would do if I sniff out a great deal and I have just enough for the down payment with the cash reserves from Property #1 included.

You need to have a stockpile of them so you can rotate them out once they start to get all smelly and gross.I don't use "financial independence" as a why.
