Building a team was not luck for me, all done through hard work and hiring lots of idiots, thieves, and disappointments before hand.

A nice corporate career, a marriage, a few kids, and MANY disappointments later I began to realize that I was climbing a never ending ladder that was going nowhere. 

If you want to "house hack" i think you are in for a disappointment.

I was disappointed and now focusing on building a local relationship to get a LOC based on my equity & assets. 

as long as things are humming along in 2022 and the dooms day folks don't have us in a recession were the houses are actually worth less than you paid for them or only what you paid for them.. then the scenario should work fine.. regardless worse case is they are rentals.. but I just would not build a business plan around some big upside and promise it to other investors.. as they may be disappointed if it does not work out as you hope..

I was very disappointed that this wholesaler was not willing to split the difference with me after such a strong recommendation.

When the economy slows down with disappointing earnings, you will see local companies reducing head count and in one quarter or two the demand for housing diminishes, and home prices will tank. 

That's probably because of years of  disappointment!  

I was so excited to see two mega forces combine and it didn't disappoint. 

I was disappointed to hear this since multi-units under $250K are in the least desirable neighborhoods, where I would not like to live in.
