Purely speculative, but If you have the cash to buy up land parcels in the major players metaverse you’ll be insanely passively wealthy.

And there is no question, and it took me a few years to realize that some of the folks on this site just cut and paste for the pure reason to run up post counts you can identify them by 1k posts and 32 votes LOL.. then U have others that have 1k posts and 3k votes that's quality content in my mind.For me personally bottom line it's a social thing and I guess I am one of the ones that like to talk.

that immersion learning IS PURE GOLD.  

That’s just pure nonsense to me.  

For me:Bought my first pure investment property (non house hack).

HML generally at least with the bigger operations require just about as much underwriting as banks or DSCR lenders.. they just usually do it quicker.. but the days of pure asset lending left the barn post 08 meltdown .. smaller private firms ( like me) we have quite a bit of flexibility on all underwriting aspects its not uncommon for me to get a deal on a Wednesday and fund on the next Monday.. but keep in mind these are all my trusted clients with years of working relationships..

It is my hope that rates come down over the next couple years a bit, but that's gravy, not something I'm betting on to stay afloat.the thing I am struggling with the most right now in this regard is from a pure real estate perspective, I'm willing to sacrifice cash flow for a deal that is at least cash flow positive, especially if there is strong hopes for appreciation, increasing rents over time, and so on.

Second home was pure savings and put the least amount down I could.

Are you looking for tax benefits, pure cash flow, house hack? 

I just offered this morning on a condo for myself in Albany Park purely as a rental.
