Unfortunately people who grow up poor don’t have much choice, and old habits don’t go away even after they are well off (and even if they have the intellect to realize what they are doing) 🤗

Then it will spread to your areas or other states like Illinois, Mass, NY, Oregon Washington, then it will spread like wildfire.It's an easy vote getter for politicians even though 99/100 economists say it's bad.https://www.policyed.org/intellections/no-vacancy/...What actually happens with Rent Control: Video  https://www.policyed.org/intellections/no-vacancy/...

Every one of my properties that I had bought in the 90s and early 2000s look GREAT.... but there are always peaks and throughs.I buy in Localities where the peaks always exceed the previous peak in with shorter time frames.I also use my intellect to tell me what deals are good for the future... for instance, buying a property where there will be a train station that will open and take people into the City for work in a short period of time.I fully believe if you dig deep into education in all ways, you will notice the above and other reasons to follow particular strategies which will offer your protection against market timing as well as a hedge against a bad deal.Maybe Phoenix is more like NYC?
