Trust me I’d love to be wrong on this, but as JD and others have pointed out the trajectory here on the platform is pretty easy to predict.

Places like Indianapolis and Detroit where you can still pick up relatively inexpensive properties, they may cash flow but are not likely to appreciate with the same trajectory as the Atlanta properties from 2011.  

Depending on your role in any company, but specifically larger real estate companies, you can gain very valuable relationships and a reputation as a high-achiever, that will get you to your goal of being a GP, maybe not faster, but I would argue, you are likely to be setup for a faster trajectory once you get there.

I mean, it probably is enough most of the time but keep in mind the economy has been on an upward trajectory since you were roughly 16 years old.

The economic prospects given the US debt and deficits, and lack of will to anything about the trajectory of either of these, I am putting some funds into physical gold, mostly as an inflation hedge.

Now that is valuable in this field.From the day I started reading that book, my career has had a single trajectory, positive.

I don't believe there will ever be a recession like the one we had (at least not in my active lifetime), but the market always corrects some and then continues on the upward trajectory.

folks need to see this from business perspective and have articulate understanding of risk , future trajectory or forecasting, financial modelling and so on.

I am thinking the reason most people may overpay is the trajectory the market has gone the past 2 years?

Because of that I'm not as worried about the future trajectory of the city.
