Yes, I’ll still have an emergency account in a separate bank in the early years, but this WL thing is all part of a larger strategy – which is to fund my own life, have money access TODAY, protect this money, and leave legacy money to future generations.So, the true number is that I’m paying 26k of my own cash, to get 17,500 in immediate cash value for year one… that looks horrible at first glance to anyone with or without a calculator… but this will be the absolutely worst year from the first glance view.  

Was a bad idea once interest rates got below 6% and a horrible deal now.

Have done great on a lot deals and horribly red on a few.

Things change very fast, future events could put you in a horrible situation under 10 year contract.

At first it went horribly, but then it got really easy once I had the right property manager.

But I don't feel great about having an early sense that things were going to blow up-it was a horrible global meltdown and like they said in the movie the Big Short, suicides rise significantly with each increase in the unemployment rate.  

I'm not sure who worked on it, but they did a "horrible" job.

Absolutely horrible idea.

Now people say "oh man those were the days, wow that was a great time to invest" yeah NOW people say that but in 2010-12 all I heard from people was how horrible it was to be investing, the worst time ever, that I needed to wait for the market to "get back to normal" and all the fear speak that your saying and so many others are saying right now just like back then. 

The other point to make is if investing in real estate is so horrible, then how come it consistently ranks in the top 5 industries with the most millionaires?
