I saw this post from Aleksey Chernobelskiy and boy did it resonate.

I completely resonate with this and I think many other people do too. 

Tripping over dollars to pick up pennies...Building a sustainable and scalable real estate portfolio should be about elevating and delegating and not doing the work yourself.Otherwise what's the point of investing in the first place?

Completely agree that in many markets the property does not cash flow without higher down payment (hence the topic of this discussion) and that attempting to sustain and scale a cash flow negative investment is inviting disaster.Last, I think most of us know that stocks beat unlevered real estate in the long run.But, sometimes the long run isn’t a math game.

Change your story each month as different stories will resonate with different people AND use each story to emphasize one of your “who do you know…” questions.

Is that something you can collect on yourself if need be for any losses you sustained because of this.

Prices are still going up but demand is now dropping substantially because, without the foreigners' money pouring in, it's likely not sustainable and demand is dropping strongly at the moment.

Currently, I'm only offered 27 hours of work per week at an average/below-average pay rate, which isn't nearly enough to save for a down payment or qualify for a loan.I've tried selling belongings to generate extra income, but it's not sustainable in the long run.

This simple, straight-forward approach to getting in the game resonates with me personally.
