Bigger Pockets was the only one that survived my trial period of finding the best most informative podcast for real estate.

Specifically, I am interested in understanding how to evaluate liens on a title report and determine which ones are likely to survive the foreclosure sale.If you have any insights to share or if you're open to connecting for a discussion, please don't hesitate to reach out.

My goal with the reserves is to have enough cash to survive 2 major capex replacement.

Ive survived the last crash, i’ve learned a lot since... but this is a totally different scenario that no one has ever experienced.

His 2-day Tax and Legal class in the Renatus education explains it great detail.Insurance means almost nothing, but you won't survive without it.

You will survive and the next one is so much easier, much less stress and anxiety.

My rentals have made us financially free and i dont have to flip a house to survive.  

That being said we are likely late in the cycle and so the trick now is to buy cashflow that can survive a down turn in prices and not focus too much on appreciation.
