I first started buying rental homes in 2010, in the middle of one of the worst recessions recently.

“With rates no longer near historic lows, buyers are increasingly cost-conscious, seeking more affordable homes in low-tax states in the South and middle of the country.”Moving Out – Metros with the Highest Net Outflow of Redfin UsersSan Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Denver posted the highest net outflows in the third quarter.

I am in the middle of training to be a helicopter pilot , the cash I have saved up could get me in a duplex (house hacking ) or I could finish school .

There are tons of opportunities up here in the northeast for investors and the fix and flip market is growing, I'm currently in the middle of a BRRRRR situation myself with a fix and hold for a single family residence.  

The newspaper published an article saying they think a mini recession will hit Miami soon as the median income is 42k and all the middle class are being pushed out of a large area of Miami.

The shelves inside some of the cabinet doors are bowing in the middle. 

I’m currently in the middle of having a construction loan completed for a single family home that will become a rental.

It seems like a good middle ground between an STR and a SFR rental.

In the middle are Class B and C assets.If we invest in Class B and C multifamily assets is because they provide the most potential value for investors, as well as the greatest potential impact for communities.

And again, the (leveraged) wealthy benefit from it, while relatively untouched by a couple hundred dollars more for gas and food.There is a wealth gap,  I'm not sure it's creating (very much) ((social)) tension.I'm guessing the middle earners (because they really are not Middle Class by American standards of a few decades ago), W2 Wage slaves living paycheck to paycheck, more resent the people on Welfare who they work to support,than the wealthy--who they have almost zero contact with, other than in certain service jobs.Culturally there seems to be a bigger divide between the welfare's and the W2's than between Welafare's or the W2's and the High Income/High Net Worth individuals, who also use mortgages and make payments on cars and furniture.Just more expensive homes, cars and furniture than your standard paycheck to paycheck W2 Wage Slave.I think the divide is between the Welfare Class and the so-called Middle class who supports them with their IRS tax payments.But in reality I think there is not much animosity between any groups, that is not stirred up by the media.Most people treat me decently, no matter what their group--and I do my best to treat them decently as well.Of course there will always be those who are jealous, or Hate for other reasons, but most people have it pretty good as far as getting what they want.And there is no way to fix jealousy or Hatred--it's been with us since time forever.As far as the W2's and the welfare's, there needs are met, and no one is standing in their way of getting more other than their own inability to motivate themselves to do more to get more.The one's who get the bad end of the stick ore the Homeless People--that's a tough life, poor devils.Just My 2 Cents.
