Only tech and big business with cash can survive.i am actually still bullish to syndication but only for niche selective asset class like warehouse or self storage, as common industrial trends are going towards more consolidation of business.... and their IRR is still 20-30% conservatively.But yea in MF there's no creativity, they are selling the same Kentucky Fried Chicken,Alabama fried chicken, with almost no creativity and no innovation.In general I think we could hold that true of the lack of innovation business wide the last many years. ai is a great example.

True mate,Always needed to get eyes on the property.Even if it meant sticking my nose on every window and looking through.Even the basement windows lolI think it's too high risk buying completely blind and not doing at least that.Ideal world, the back door is unlocked.And luckily for me "It was always unlocked" by me hahahaha Lol, yeah, I gotcha.

Cheap is expensive is a saying you hear which is true.

This is even true for student debt.I recommend the old-school, proven technique of paying off all debt.
