Whatever your portfolio looks like hopefully you leveraged all the equity you got from properties that you might have picked up after 2008. I was in high school then so I wasn't fortunate enough lol. Did 1031 exchange for several other properties after weathering the sub prime mortgage storm. Then refinanced all my properties for around 3%. But sucks to be a landlord in LA. Honestly, real estate investing will probably never be like it was pre-pandemic. Notice podcasts like bigger pockets just fell off the face of the earth. Used to listen to that pod religiously. If you got a bit more cash for down payment, look into assumable loans for better buying opportunities with owner cooperation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got a bit more cash for down payment, look into assumable loans for better buying opportunities with owner cooperation. I think being a landlord anywhere in California is tough lol. LA multi families are a different beast. I personally stay away from SF, Berkeley, and Oakland for similar reasons. I think BiggerPockets lost some of its original magic due to host changes and company shifts plus the rise of online coaching/masterminds and short-form content has diluted the podcast audience a bit. I think assumable loans are extremely niche. If one happens to fall into your lap it can be interesting, but for most buyers the time and effort required usually isn’t worth it. Most sellers just aren’t in the position to make those deals work. They have become a bit of a click bait topic recently, but they aren't nearly as practical as content creators make them out to be. Honestly, I don’t think the traditional market is as fucked as some people make it out to be. If you have cash, you can find deals without having to structure deals most people can’t even comprehend. If you don't have cash, real estate investing in CA probably isn't a market to try to crack into. An established investor with equity and/or cash can make a lot of things happen in todays market.

There are a lot more attractive stocks than TSLA. Musk is kind of a dumbass, in my opinion, and its pretty much a fact that everyone, including country and business leaders, hate him, so his growth will be limited. Space stocks have a lot more potential I think. A growing list of countries, shying away from US intelligence, are buying new service contracts with these companies almost daily. Their backlogs are growing into the high billions, so no end in sight in the growth of their revenues streams for years to come.. While I might be hesitant to buy them now, my holdings are about 85%+ gain in both, RKLB and PL, my two largest holdings. But I think any portfolio of individual stocks is missing out if they are not in it. LUNR and RDW. FLY. all look good. I am going to start acquiring RDW after it settled down into a growth period. KTOS got away from me but its military application testing is going to be highly needed as fronts of war move to space. I hope we have correction so I can get back into it.

First mistake is putting prejudice of a person ahead of investing. Something Jamal might do! And it looks like ol' Manning Envy Jamal could have written the first paragraph of that quote, as the only thing missing is the word Nazi! Blue Sky 's and 's 4evah! hahaha You know that rich dumbasses and tards make the world go round - and ol' Muskrat is about as far out in front of all the other tards as he can be, so I'd get to buying some TSLA asap! Remember, all the other tards try to copy the Muskrat! Like Cathie Wood said, he's the best capital allocator in history! And as a TSLA shareholder, looks like I might be getting some free shares of SpaceX when it IPO's later this year! Hell, I ain't worked for anyone but myself for almost 16 years now. On Jan. 26th to be exact, 16 years. Living the life, posting on TR from my desktop and never a damn cell phone, because when I'm out of the house, the need to post on TR from a cell phone never crosses my mind. hahaha I live a lifestyle where I'll never be able to spend all the cash I've made from investing/trading/sports wagering over the past 25 years - and that includes putting a measly $1000 on the TSLA IPO back then, just for kicks, which has since turned into almost a 1/4 million so far, all by it's damn self! If TSLA ever gets back down under 300 again, we'll be tempted to sell our house, buy even more TSLA and then live in a damn hotel or RV for 3-5 years - and wait for the uptick explosion in the stock price. LOL! That goddamn @OilerTitanHybrid is always on the spectrum / always right! Sooo, it looks like OTH is the REAL Artificial Intelligence on this site, after all! Also: Just saw titansruss on the red eye flight back into Richmond this am (he's always jet lagged you know!) I had to come back from the sun n fun for my honey Abi Spanberger's Governor's inauguration at 11:30! Of course no one on TR will be there but me, cause they're all a buncha fake poster MAGAS! HAHAHAHA Gotta go now, no time to waste. Toodles! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 For my main retirement account, it's still overall S&P, but for my ROTH, I've converted VOOG into FUTY, focusing more on utilities. Even if AI bubble pops, some AI will win. Utilities are already in a crunch for energy. I've also invested in First Solar, the leading US production co for large scale solar. Utilities can't build plants or nukes fast enough to keep up with demand, so they'll increase prices in addition to adding solar and renewables.

If quantum computing is real, every digital asset will most likely be compromised including banking industry, stock portfolios, and crypto. But in this case, it's probably those who keep their assets in centralized exchanges and banks that will might get their assets back. Might as well only stack real physical assets at that point and buy yourself a gun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 Nines Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Vol is up so much, when I rolled QQQ calls today, up $1 in strike from this Friday to next Friday, I pocketed $364 per contract, plus lessened my short by $100 per contract, so $464 over a week on a ~$60K position each contract that I keep plus its dividends. If annualized that would be 40% extra on top of QQQ's own appreciation and its own dividends. Seems to me the Iran war is good: OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
