At the time of publication Orwell was warning against the evils of communism but the basic premise can be applied to any excess of government. 

I should warn you... you will always run into the naysayers, especially when you're young.

If you want to warn others and keep them from getting into a similar jam, then they need to know details that they can learn from (you decide whether that includes names or not).

@Zachary Ray Thank you for the warning.

Has it turned a corner, yes... but again, not fully.For God sakes- the NYSE just warned NY that it is prepared to leave if they levy a stock transfer tax which a majority of NY'ers supporting the tax.While New York has remained a center of gravity for the financial industry, many employees of “Wall Street” firms are migrating to Florida, Texas and other states with hospitable tax policies.

However, one warned me that doing a BRRR in the cheaper neighborhoods is not a good idea due to sketchy areas that a lot of PMs refuse to manage.

The posters here are experienced and can warn you away from mistakes, but everyone will tend to speak more positively about the strategies that they are good at and negatively about the strategies they personally chose to pass up on. 

With this much caution, hopefully not a crash but a small correction/soft landing in 2019-2020.http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/analyst-who-predicted-2008-crash-warns-of-bubble-brewing-in-household-wealth/ar-BBOxWlX?

I must warn that is not as easy as most people think because even hard money lenders (asset base lenders) want to see some cash reserve in your bank account just in case you run into some unforeseen issue.Goodluck
