The challenge when renting directly to the government is that they expect below market rents.From what I've read in the past, most institutional investors look at these leases like US Treasury Bonds (extremely low risk) and expect a similar rate of return as bonds.Keep this in mind while you try to negotiate a rent increase.

I have my public market portfolio, which is the usual stocks and bonds, etc.

Examples of liquid assets that can be used for a contingency fund include:Cash in a bank or savings accountStock or bond investmentsCash value of an insurance depositMoney in a 401K, IRA, or other retirement savings accountCertificates of depositLet’s say your monthly payment for a mortgage is $1,500.

You could even just buy I bonds that will do more to build your long term wealth than paying down a low interest mortgage faster.

These initiatives aim to strengthen the global presence of the 7-Eleven brand and unlock shareholder value.

That being said, since most US debt is owned by Americans, increasing rates means American lenders and treasury bond holders earn a higher return and have more money to spend, negating much of what rate increases are supposed to do (namely, slow down the economy and reduce inflation).  

But after speaking to mentors and brokers, I realize that I need to strengthen my background and experience before I am taken seriously when I ask for a seat at the table.  

Thank you @Steven Bond.

I have yet to see anything put out by those 3 gurus that is current with the new requirements of seller financing or options, so you can take much of those old ploys in their material and heat hot dogs in a bond fire!

Except in the most secure investments, such as zero coupon bonds, a yield is not a guarantee.
