Preach.

“frick Trump, I wanna retire in 5 years and I need 20% gains annually for upkeep on my 3500 sq ft main house and my vacation house. Plus I just bought the wife a $100k QX80 for her 5 mile roundtrip to work each day.”

Boo hoo.

You wish. I properly scale my business and am fully prepared for the downturn. I am actually gonna buy some more houses when the housing market sale begins and actually provide a real product to the community(as well as work for tradesmen). I dont rely on artificially pumped up numbers on a screen to make a living

Somewhere on this forum in 2007 someone was proudly crowing the same thing.

Listen, fat...Boomer needs another boat so lets stop all this nonsense talk of fair trade and balanced budgets because his stocks are down. Also when mortgages are subprime again and credit cards are defaulting, dont be getting any wild ideas about letting the market actually correct. We wont have any upsetting the markets in Boomer's golden years

Oh 2007...where you boomers and Xers bailed out your recklessness instead of letting the market actually correct. The start of the government subsidized market gravy train...the good ol days

Tbh I’m not even sure if owning a lot of houses is the key. I’m just a novice but I rent out my Boston home at a loss (in terms of net cash, not in terms of payment) and even if I owned a few more, I don’t see it being the cash flow machine people say it is till like year 15-20.

That’s smart; it Ended well last time when a bunch of people bought houses they couldn’t afford.

I think trying to accrue rentals just to cashflow at any cost is a mistake. Finding quality house in good school zones in stable communities is the key. Im building a home currently as a rental. If a 2007 level catastrophe hits, this house will still rent because its a desirable community to live

it is when you buy with cash. The buyers in 2008 are now all millionaires

I specifically bought the house because it’s in a great school but it’s definitely more costly

I wish I was a boomer because they’re all rich and lived when America was good and they don’t have to be here much longer


Us millennials are cursed to live like 50 more years

Thats a wise strategy imo and worth the xtra. Can always sell or easily rent these houses in a pinch

Which band-aid is that?

We don't know what's been saved by DOGE as they aren't sharing much of anything. They've added things to their published list only to take them off the next day. What have they actually saved? A billion? Maybe 20 billion?

And don't forget, Trump also wants to pass an extension on his tax cuts coming at a astonishing cost of $4.5T over the next 10 years. So much for ripping off that bandaid.

It is if you are serious about handling the debt.

Or are you just talking out both sides of your mouth in order to defend Trump? Because ya can't have it both ways, man. You can't be in here cheerleading DOGE, tariffs, deficit cutting, etc. leading to a recession and then moments later support a $4.5T tax cut.
