The thing anyone should be afraid of is working a 9-5 for the rest of your lives.

Hopefully, we're still building aircraft carriers so we can scare the rest of the world, cause we darn sure don't have anything to sell em except for food and raw materials............we're in deep doo-doo.

Wheatie , not detroit , plenty are in Cleveland though.I'm looking at having 2-3 properties at a monthly loss so I can cashout, all properties are cash-only deals and unfortunately I can only come up with $12.5k to one one or twice a year.I just need one or two to be debt loaded to buy the rest, then the remainder will be no more than 20k-30k assuming a rental income of $650/mo
