Survived the 2008 market crash (thanks for one of my property that was cash flowing really well). 

I am surviving in my W-2 job and using that to pay the bills while I build up equity in my business.

If not it is unlikely they would/could survive in this business.

If I can do that with a friend and survive, I definitely can survive land lording to a complete stranger.

If you have rental units that cover the expenses you will be able to survive a downturn in the real estate market.

The obituaries for both spouses indicates that they were survived by two daughters, but doesn't list their names.  

The travel surge post covid is over, so most successful properties are professionally managed/co hosted to ensure maximum success. 4.9 rating and above listings will survive the so called "airbnb" collapse. 2.6 billon per year still travel, the need is there, the supply is going down with all the hobbyists/opportunists now jumping ship because they don't run it like a hospitality business will run it.

In fact, my earliest investment property is worth about 8 times the value when I bought it in the year 2000 for $140k (now worth over $1.1 Million).BTW, from my 14 years of being Financially Independent, what you really get is the OPTION to NOT work, OR to Work.Many of us who are F I, choose to work or build businesses as the stress level is WAY lower than when you are FORCED to work.I really hope everyone is motivated to achieve F I because the health benefits of getting rid of the stress of being forced to work to survive is a difficult thing to carry.

Where the successful adaptation is happening (Seattle, San Francisco, etc.) are appreciating markets, so the landlords can still survive in the socialist environment.Upstate NY does not have ANY appreciation in small multi's. 

Who knows how long the bachelors may end up taking.Doing all of my assignments and studying is incredibly time consuming, and I have to keep my part time job to survive.
