Despite higher interest rate environment, there's reasonable probability inflation will still continue - thus increase hard asset valuation.

In 2021 there were two competing ballot measures that the citizens of Denver voted on - one measure from open-space advocates that would continue to prevent WIP from developing this parcel, the second measure sponsored by the WIP themselves that would exempt the property from the current zoning restrictions. 

This lets both the investor and the builder do what they do best.I think this will continue to be a growing part of the investing landscape. 

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

Despite their track record, both these guys continue to peddle their snake oil.

The problem many of us run into is being in New England, many of the markets are high cost, high appreciation markets that we either can't get pre qualified for, or even after moving out will struggle to cash flow.Another big constraint is that many of us have W-2 jobs in engineering that require some days in the office, and these types of higher paying jobs are primarily in major cities (most of us are in the Boston area).Lastly, a lot of us have significant others that may be less interested in living somewhere "random" because it makes sense as an investment.

Let us know how we can continue the conversation!

Wishing you continued success as well! 

We are really worried about lack of demand being a continued issue since our town may not even open our lake this summer due to storm contamination 🥲

I know it seems like a tough task, but can you spend a few more months or a year while you continue to learn to really tighten the budget or find ways to earn a little extra to start from a stronger position?
