You simply can't be cash-poor today or you're toast.I suppose "Only when the tide goes out do you learn who has been swimming naked.” - Warren Buffett

Quote from @Valentin Diaz: Hi everyone, I'm posting on here today to see if I can get some guidence.

In addition due to prop 13, the tax base is a fraction of if it sold today.   

This will serve as proof of notice sent.I encourage you to do this today. 

We also have to remind ourselves that real estate is for the long run, meaning a D class neighborhood today could be a B class neighborhood in a few years. 

I have been out of the country and just seeing this today.

We've been doing this since 2019.I know Detroit isn't Ohio, but they're pretty similar.We aren't seeing cash flow in A or B areas today.

Now of course there are still deals to be had out there, I am not saying that, but its a lot harder to find those deals today than five years ago when everything was a deal due to low interest rates.We are always buying but this is my business, so we have a team etc. to manage it.

If you want to start investing today (everyone does) what can you sacrifice to get it done? 

If I have a problem with my newspaper delivery or something equally non-critical, I'd like an answer or fix  now, but if it's later today or tomorrow, not a big deal.
