    some places
    home depot isn't requiring it but costco is
    most places i frequent aren't enforcing it
    gruesome newsom just said today it isn't required but he's up against a recall
    give a loser bureaucrat a little power and they will never give it up

    I don't wear mask unless the store tells me.and if the tell me then they better nicely provide one for me.
    Hopefully without small pox.
    I do t like my hardware preinstalled with useless unsecure programs.

    They found a large store of deadstock blankets from the 1870's that the US Cavalry was going to distribute to the Natives on the Trail of Tears...they made masks out of them.
    Available on AOC's website, along with her T shirts that read " Tax the Rich".
    For $27.00...masks are free with the shirt.
    Free!

    An old friend of mine, one not prone to exaggeration, told me heard a report from a Chinese virologist who worked in Wuhan, that they are and have been working on a powerful virus that does.not affect the genetic code of Asians.
    I ask, has anyone else heard this ?

    Tucker has had a Wuhan virologist on several times saying it was weaponized but i hadn't ever heard the genetic code part
    hard to imagine any reason they would want to be digging in bat caves in China looking to fund gain of function research let alone funded by us
    i've never given in to conspiracy theories but it keeps coming back to why for me
    i think there are evil motherfuckers in this world that want to have to option of wiping out large portions of society if they choose
    and i think the elites on all parts of this earth loathe the common folk and their annoying needs
    but if china is doing that it is certainly racist and i'm sure we will take them to task
    should probably be in the politics thread sorry
    at least i didn't say i bet liberals would love to have a knockout virus to use on Trump voters that spared them!

    Well...theoretically, all of Asia would be left in such a scenario.
    As ace boon coon, the Chicoms would be the masters of that world.

    I appreciate it, when the day come closer I will absolutely take you up on the offer. Ohio has been in my head but I expect to wind up somewhere in the mid-west.

    Really just trying to stick to the plan and not deviate too much. Every single day.

    I'll let you know when the time comes.

    Right now, the plan is to get my first 3 -4 unit via FHA, 1 year later get a second property that is 2 - 3 units, after another year get a 1 - 2 unit property, then one year later get a single family house for myself if I am fortunate enough to get a 4-unit property on the first place. Of course the property buying will not quit after I get my personal house, that is just when I will use FHA for the last time.
    - 2023: 4 units
    - 2024: 3 units
    - 2025: 2 units
    - 2026: house

    I like the idea of being in the central time zone so I can start my trading at 7:20, rather than 5:20 lol, but I'll go anywhere I believe is the best opportunity.

    great plan mate
    just a couple of things would concern me w what i saw this last year
    one is how ready the government was to tell people they don't have to pay rent
    sure people are supposedly getting made whole but that scared the shit out of me and i was lucky the people i rent a condo to kept current
    the other thing is just renting to people in general
    my gf is renting in sfv in an apartment and every time a unit has become available in the last year low income, low class people have moved in
    it was a great place w 3 jacuzzis and lush grounds where people respected each other
    now its loud and dirty and forget going to the pool or jacuzzi because they're always occupied
    the manager told me its all government selected families that they subsidize and prioritize moving to the suburbs
    they dgaf about anyones property
    but there's no way anyone who rents can say no without being fined and going to jail
    my renters just left to go back to Korea so the gf moves in and no way i would have listed my place
    just a heads up that the rental dynamic has completely changed at least in lovely CA
    but property is absolutely the best thing the common guys like us can do
    and congrats on your trading success
    would love to hear more specific details on successes and thoughts

    Yep. It's the leveraged investment for the rest of us.

    Yeah, it is concerning but I can't let fear derail me from pursuing property. I need to look into individual state laws to filter which states to buy in and which ones to not, CA & NY would be horrific because of their laws but places like Georgia let you kick out people quick as shit (I think; I'd need to confirm). Plus, part of the plan is being able to afford the payment with the income I make from my 9 to 5.

    Regarding the trading, I'd be the last person to say I've been a trading success thus far (I will be). Only practice, no money made, and to be quite frank, I have not been as consistent as I need to be to go live. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the best days of trading I've had are always when the consistency is spot on without a single bit of deviation from the plan. Having the computer setup for the next day before going to sleep, waking up at the same time, doing the same routine to a tee down to the nitty gritty details. The worst days come from being inconsistent (ie. not setting up my computer the night before, not watching the market the day before, not reviewing my trades, not studying for a certain minimum time).

    I cannot go live until my work roth 401k hits a certain number, I have 12 months of emergency cash in savings (in its own separate account) that NEVER gets touched or even thought about, I am completely debt free, and I have built up $10k specifically for short-term investing only (that I am prepared to lose every penny of) that is in its own separate account. As much of a requirement as any of the other items listed, before I can go live I have to be so consistent and disciplined that my daily routine is fucking boring because I am doing the same shit every single day at the exact same time I did them the previous day. Even if all other metrics have been checked, if the consistency is not tip mother fucking top I will not allow myself to take a single trade live. It would not be worth it, I'd be better off putting the money into a long-term position rather than blow it up short-term investing because I wanted to gamble.

    Lots of people want to be lords and manage some royal estates for the king.
    Why better recompense for a brave knight proven in battle.
    And when bravery fails there's always the sheriff whose always by your side helping put down the deplorable classes.
    This is how you make it as a king.
    And its good to be the king.
    Until they start 3d printing guillotines.
    Like in El Salvador in the early 80s. I saw it firsthand in 3 trips to get my family out.
    Same with Cuba and Haiti.
    Look at cuba.today and look at El Salvador now and what just happened in Haiti Flashpoint 2020.

    If you wanna be a landlord right now to make money you ain't reading the tea leaves. Not that they saying you won't make the money. Just that you gonna be the bad guy in the story. Unless you want to be the really really really nice guy.
    But you know what happens to nice guys.
    You will be the bad guy of be miserable.
    Here in CA of course.
    Sanctuary City.
    If you wanna run real estate you have a better chance at doing it for the love of the game and not the money and the fame.

    Then again I shower with cold water everyday. I'm not only a member of the throwing cold water club for men I'm also the president.

    Or, here me out.... You could buy out a big chunk of lake Elsinore waterfront and make it into the best micro amusement water park in america with pirates and vikings and beer wenches for the men and the halfling almost men.

    Long-term investing + short-term investing + real estate = not a single motherfucker on Earth who can stop me, except me.
    of course, mastery of these elements are a requirement and that is why I work everyday because I am not a master of these nor am I close now but I will be.
    I'm here to build wealth for generations beyond me. If that makes me the bad guy, so be it.
