In Milwaukee the weather can get pretty cold and we want to protect the tenant, but also the pipes in the property from freezing.For that reason we do have a stockpile of emergency equipment which includes electric space heaters.

But your point is valid, which is why I was asking @Nilusha Jayasinghe what their ability was to stockpile cash quickly.

There is every reason to believe in strong rent growth in 2026, and those who can stockpile cash and go in with reasonably low leverage have a great shot at seeing high returns in the first year of their hold. 

If you are not starting from a very strong financial position and you do not have the ability to quickly stockpile cash quickly from other means then I definitely agree with that statement from the book.

There is a potential scenario where an outside rescue fund (marketed as preferred equity to new investors) could come into play in many of the projects that appear to be performing especially if they have been paying the pref (via a reserve account stockpiled by over raising funds in the beginning).

The market supply has had a surplus meaning they are sitting longer and "stockpiling", nothing crazy but it is noticeable in the chart.

I can't help feeling like he's been stockpiling funds to eventually file bankruptcy even while he swears he's trying to straighten everyone out.

They sounded like the same people who for the last XXX years have been saying that you need to stockpile gold and firearms for the coming apocalypse.  

Stockpile the cash and put it into any number of things that can pay you 4-5% these days.

He explained that given where I was at and how much I was cash flowing that it was his opinion that for now it might be smarter to save that extra money and continue stockpiling it for a rainy day or for my next investment.
