My personal view is that is it also not likely in the near term.People can't agree on what causes stagflation but the two main theories are a supply shock (usually oil) or poorly made economic policy.

The third option is to sell and pay a boatload in taxes, which will reduce the amount of money you have to play with in addition to writing some painful checks to the IRS and FTB.I've been in your situation and done some commercial RE and oil investing out of state through syndications. 

The US government needs the world addicted to oil so that the world buy's oil in US dollars.

In my opinion, Grant Cardone is a snake oil salesman. 

I see the end, book it.2017 is the one for sure, Trump was elected, oil is low priced, Fed is raising rates, flaming hail, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.Fact:   The economy will fall into recession againFact: No one knows when or howSuggestion: Invest such that the timing of the market is not a factor, if it is a good investment now it will be a good investment in 10 years when you can add 10 to all the numbers above and repeat reading the same articles.  

This is primarily due to the low oil prices at the moment.

I work in the oil service industry as an engineer (more like a supervisor I don't use math at all) and most supervisor jobs can make anywhere from 150k to 250k.

I can change my own oil, but it's way easier to give the drive thru lube 30 bucks and do it on a Saturday morning.

You also have to take into account licensing, insurance, taxes, overhead, vehicle costs, such as tires, oil changes, breakdowns, etc...  

But as they say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
