I let a fence installer work through my backyard on a neighbors project and when it was all done they had replaced a chainlink fence with a wood privacy fence but inside the lot line ...leaving cut off metal posts sticking up 2” on my side but not on my property.

I'm sure the pensions would certainly like to do the same since they are unable to reach those numbers themselves and rapidly moving into more and more toxic assets to try and make up the difference since they are dramatically underfunded, poorly managed, riddled with corruption, pay an enormous amount of money to Wall Street in the form of unreasonable and usury level management fees, and soon will be our next worldwide crisis that unfolds. 

-Precious Metals (Gold/Silver): Insurance-Opportunistic Bridge Notes / Rescue Capital: Clip 6.00-7.00% on the note plus fees on distressed value add multifamily.

Beware of shady toxic people.  

I recieved my degree in Mechanical Engineering and am currently (and have been since graduating) working as a Manufacturing Engineer for an industrial metal fabrication company here in South Dakota.

The price was great the cash flow looked good to great but when we went out and physically looked at the property...needed new roof, siding repaired or possibly replaced, scrap metal everywhere and a hand full of other small items, plus area rents were lower than what this place was getting and the buildings around were nothing to write home about.

@Gustavo WoltmannHolding a small (and I mean small) 2-3% of precious metal shares is not a terrible idea.

HVAC units typically last less than 10 years, anything made of metal will corrode, and the salt buildup will require regular cleaning of windows, exterior siding, etc. 

You can find something at every price point imaginablePeople will talk about crime and taxes, but as long as you factor taxes into your numbers and are aware of the areas you are investing you will be fine.We invest all over the city and will continue to keep the pedal to the metal. 

I met all of the other criteria, including income, and I wanted to make sure my rental history started out right!
