I'm not surprised D.R. polarizes, he's a huge star with a lot of extreme opinions,  many based in religious beliefs. 

Some people want extra income for retirement, to fund religious missions, control over their investments, tax advantages, freedom from their job, funding for their kids’ future, etc.

As far as loss of value, when I sold property in CA that had hospice deaths of elderly people who choose to die at home the realtor said that any Asian purchasers, due to religious beliefs, would not be interested in buying the house. 

@Scott Mac you my friend are in for a rude awakening by the universe if you truly charge per staple.

These services (some government-provided, some religious-affiliated, some business-related, and some charity related,) all require the citizen to be extremely delinquent on a bill before offering assistance. 

If I did multi I'd be in an fha loan and would have to live there.Its a veryyyyyyyy secular and religious place.

Anyone who thinks CF is isolated from a market downturn is in for a rude awakening when longterm tenants lose their job and move out and vacancy rate doubles. 

One I believe it was Datsun ( that's what Nissans were called in the early days for you younger folks out there) they were the first auto manufacotrer to offer 0% financing.. which of course as we know has been copied for years and years since the mid to early 80s.Second was I had Saudi clients from San Francisco that because of religious reasons could not pay interest So since we owned all the properties we sold.. ( my dad was in the land business big time 300 to 500 sales a year)WE came up with our own 0% financing and just flat killed it.. 

Since there are 3 partners involved we track our hours religiously to figure out how to divide income up.

I have read many mindset books including "Rich Dad Poor Dad", I listen to the BP podcast almost religiously, and I go to investor meetups on the regular.
