Once you get to a stage that you are well equip and bag the expertise in your niche, you have to learn to use other people's talent (OPT).

I’m sure your stories are both priceless and scary.And probably amusing & sad.The most ‘action’ I’ve seen is 20 trash bags of trash on move out.  

Put them in your bag and lean on them early and often.

And if you were lucky enough to keep your job, and *silly* enough to keep paying for your house...you got caught holding the bag.

If it's clearly something where you went out and grabbed something off the shelf at Target and threw it in a bag, don't bother.

The big players in the game will do everything they can to make sure they don’t get stuck holding the bag.

It's a real nice tool to have in the bag.

That's why I joined this forum to see if real estate investing is my cup of tea since I hear lots of wonderful things about it and becuase of Robert Kiyosaki always talking about it.

Because real estate is much slower by nature (you can't sell and close on a house in 1 day) it's a little easier to read the tea leaves. 

Skew the numbers a bit to make it "harder" essentially. 2019's numbers are safer to use, 2020 and especially 2021 were outliers. 2022 I believe is somewhere in the middle - but there's lots of people holding the bag, because you could've bought anything in 2020/2021 and it went up, stocks, RE, used cars etc.
