@Bryce Ray The "Dallas Ft.Worth Grapevine Arlington Desoto area" is a massive market to cover.  

Just when we thought things we solved, we began having massive issues with squatters/vandalism in Sacramento. 

Thank you all and I wish you massive success this year. 

I do think a National and even Global approach is the best way to build a massive business but I am not even close to that (still only one rental...but looking to get more in 2018).

When margin loans go bad, they really stink the place up.From what little you've posted about your financial situation, I suspect you're about to massively over-leverage yourself, so it would be really imprudent for you to go and get one of these.

You are far too substantial from what I know of you on BP to risk having some agent fubar you and you get in some massive suit.. remember E and O is just insurance and they don't cover a bad agent who has commited fraud ..

Apparently surging violent crime, massive tax hikes and insolvent public pensions are bad for attracting new residents...who knew?

Massively digital.

They are in the trenches, acquiring assets, building connections, getting the know-out, facing the challenges, looking for solutions, gaining experience, building momentum.When the recession hit, they will still be out there learning from their mistakes but still buying.If you have been sitting waiting to get into the game and looking to borrow for example, people will be less likely to lend you.If you think a recession is around the corner, still invest but be conservative.For example, if you were going to be a house ot live or rent out, buy a house that is coming at a discount on the market because it needs repairs.Doing the work and making the repairs will provide you with equity in that house that could you shleter a recession.Buy in area where the house prices are not massively inflated so that your monthly expenses (including mortgage payment) are well below the rent that house would command.In that scenario, you have some protection should the market dip because you'll able to hold on to that house for a long time without having to worry where the market is.
