I did exclusively stocks 1992-2004, then added in some real estate (buy and hold, self managed) about 2004 to present and it was like becoming a different species (like a fish suddenly becoming a land animal)...Whole different ball game.

Based on what I have seen so far, I wouldn't say there is a sudden appearance of multi-families. 

Then in 2009 the housing bubble burst, real estate prices took a dive, rents came down and your cash flow suddenly disappeared and you owned a once $800K property that is now worth $550K.

Without suddenly jumping ahead to current podcasts and trying to find what people are saying about SEO today, I'm wondering what those of you who have websites that you use to get leads from are finding in 2018 regarding SEO. 

I suddenly was dealing with people who have little stability in their lives, don't have bank accounts, etc.

If all the tech companies in the area suddenly move to another state, will I need to cut my rents in half...

Living here you will have noticed the surge in rents and thus sale prices (there is also a huge push to live in towns with good school systems which is driving single family homes as well as condos).

So it's not like if you invest now your property is suddenly going to be worth 50% of the purchase value in 5 years.But then again, maybe North Korea nukes us.

I used to do it accidentially and could never for the life of me figure out why my text was all of a sudden smaller until I accidentially made it bigger..

For instance, if you had the million, invested some of it in the deal that required accreditation, and then the stock market fell or you put some of the remainder into a primary residence, so that you no longer meet the net worth requirement, does some alarm go off and they suddenly hand you your money back and show you the door?
