Unless you both sold all your holdings and put them into gold I would say yes @Ben Leybovich you and Brandon are investors.  

Government and quality corporate bonds, and gold are all traditional hedges against recession, however not specific to housing.

When I joined, there are three tier membership programs: Gold ($30k), Platinum ($50k), and Diamond ($100k). 

Suffice to say they are the best examples of how to use/apply what Einstein referred to as "the greatest invention of the 10th century".Compound Interest.What he said after that was the Gold. 

there is no question lake county has always been a place that had great potential but never could quite get there.And there is reasons for that.right after the gold rush Clearlake area was quite popular as resorts.. mineral bath resorts abounded all around the area.. reason proximity to SF populations..

Paper cash flow with gang member tenants is out.Appreciation at least a possibilityTri's or quads available...Presence of some rehab capable PM's that arent morons...I have researched most of the gold rush OOS towns... cleveland etc...

I also believe in diversification.If you had bought gold prior to crash you would have killed it.Equities and REI in bull markets.Gold, Silver bullion and cash for bear markets.Also avoid class A rental units for now till bear market returns.Build up a LOC, banks are allowing you to open up non-collateralized personal lines for cash reserves at 8% APR for those that have +800 FICO credit score at 0$ cost.

Happy long-term tenants are worth their weight in gold, so making that move before the impact of this new company is truly known is a bit of a gamble. 

Your buyers list is gold!

Everyone keeps saying i'm sitting on a gold mine aka retirement plan I finally had to work past the emotions of losing my family and recognizing how lucrative rental property can be.
