But, Mike I can agree I can stash away some more cash to have more reserves to be an a better position.

Accidentally Throws Away the Neighborhood Drug Dealers Stash BagYou may think this one is a joke.

You can also search hedge funds online, but there are a lot of joker brokers out there trying to sell you someone else's lists, etc., so you have to vet each one to verify they actually own the collateral, otherwise they'll just waste your time.  

Some jokers promote $100 earnest money.

We've never had a HELOC.Don't be in the upper-end rentals in your area and expect that you won't take a hit in a recession.Other than that, as I've said before here on BP, you need a stash of Kalasknikovs and ammo in your basement for apocalyptic scenarios.

@Mark S.Yeah, I’m 34 looking for some options to stash pre tax money away and reduce my tax burden

Hello all,My good friend/business partner and myself currently run a business with 50+ employees and have been stashing away cash over the last couple of years to support a venture into franchising or real estate.

You're gonna need a stash of Kalashnikovs and ammo in yout basement.

Cash, equities...money that cannot be frozen and that I can access within a few days.That's what I do and I think it will work well if something happens but I feel more comfortable doing that then seeing some of the jokers on here bragging that they equity stripped their entire portfolio into a commercial loan and cash flow $200 a door right now and their reserves are their credit card.Those people will get swept out to sea IMO.

One of them has a crawlspace where tons of old junk has been stashed and several old electric water heaters are rusting away. 1 area that had a bathroom leak and the floor was repaired and some supports added but would need to be redone.
