Hard to beat the simple, mid grade, durable, nothing fancy, white electric range....

If I bury the $100K and dig it up in 30 years, now my giant, fancy can of coke will "cost" me $209,757, but it's the same can of coke just at a higher price.

I have a much simpler strategy that doesn't require any fancy charts: buy when you find a great deal in a great neighborhood that you can reasonably afford to hold through thick and thin.

Some of the finishes are a a little sloppy, but all-in-all, it is nicer than most apartments in WeHo, and it comes with a big backyard.Driving around the area, the businesses looked old and distressed - old auto repair shops, no fancy restaurants, a Wal-Mart, some Mexican restaurants.

It seems you have done what can be done and now it's time to ask the question of where do you want to be in a few years when you recover.If you do a "strategic" bankruptcy (just a fancy way of saying starting over and doing better next time) you can be back in business debt free with bad credit and no creditors hounding you.

I fancy myself the tenant whisperer. 

I would buy an expensive bicycle, one of those fancy carbon frame ones. 

Basic services, nothing fancy. 

Some people would rather watch TV, vape, drive a fancy vehicle, wear $300 sneakers, and complain about how the man is keeping them down.

So to me they are trying to use fancy marketing to deceive you.
