I'm putting a lot of energy towards educating myself about all the intricacies of the business, of course while working on a good marketing and networking strategy.

Recessions are just part of the economic cycle and will create great buying opportunities in real estate and the stock market in the next 1-3 years. 

Even though the numbers are still strong, there's a lot of economic uncertainty. 

As someone who is about to (hopefully) close on his first duplex, I am curious about how I can protect myself from losing money on this deal and future investments.Link to article: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/14/stock-markets-wall-street-in-focus-amid-earnings-economic-data.htmlThank you

There is always an economic crisis on the horizon. 

How much do points typically cost, and do they make economic sense for realestate investors?

The more I read and learn about investing, according to the bigger pockets strategies, the more questions I have.Wouldn’t renting in a low economic area, where homes are selling for under $100k, wouldn’t that also invite less prosperous and less responsible tenants who will more frequently default on rent?

If it's a good deal (by 2019 standards) go ahead.If you do some research on last 5 economic recessions and home values you will find that the last one was the only recession where home values crashed.
