  1. Great strategy for people with money looking to diversify their investments. I know someone who has done this in the pricy Bay Area, Jessica Lynn Catalan. She has great cash flow on a home she bought 20 years ago and is breaking even on a property she bought three years ago having put 1/3 down. Ten years from now she will cash flow better and her equity will be through the roof. She did the same for out-of-state properties.

  2. Gained a sub!!! Omg you're too good!!! Just to ask, what if I do have a dividend paying etf but I just reinvest it back? Does that sound okay ish to you? Thanks for your time 🙂

  3. All good, but honestly, I don’t agree on market timing. As much as it’s true marketing timing is an illusion if you try to consistently beat the market with it (and that’s what the quotes you mentioned were referring to), for me the best decision I made was indeed to wait. I slowly slowly accumulated my capital, sure some tragedy sooner or later would have happened.
    And there you go, a couple of years later…ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce…COVID!!!
    The market plummeted and in 2/3 tranches I bought my well diversified ETFs. And I’ve started saving on them, investing monthly. I made quite a good amount of money so far.
    Then again, you keep accumulating a little bit, and then War in Ukraine! Inflation!! Trump tariffs!!!
    We are certainly not missing occasions for the market to temporarily crash lately. All good occasions to enter.
    Just be ruthless with money- without hurting anyone, but just be fully aware that when blood is on the streets, that’s the right moment to enter (quote from Buffet, I think)
