You are right, trying to time/predict a recession is impossible which is why you have multiple income source.

Know what you are buying and getting multiple opinions is always something I would recommend. 

I’ve been watching videos on Max Maxwell and Mark Whitten trying to soak up as much as I can on everything they say, when I don’t understand something I watch it multiple times until I understand it.

I have lived in this house since 2002 and had multiple tenants, and no issues with vermin of any kind prior to these tenants.

My property manager has contacted them multiple time to get it back for about 2 month. 

I was told by multiple people in the real estate world that I would only be able to use the VA loan twice in my entire life.

My associates and I already have 1-2 units there each, but am looking to expand our holdings and scale up into multiple 2-4 units and into Euclid for high-value SFH's.Are you a local investor, property manager, contractor, or lender?

I personally have multiple investments so I have both stocks and real estate.

This may entail investing actively and passively, investing in multiple states, and/or investing in various types of RE assets. 

I would recommend that you go to one and learn who some of the players in your market are.
