Let’s talk macro

Realllllly important question we must discuss to be considered diligent and prudent investors.

US macros are weakening and we’re seeing a few common themes: over leverage on personal credit (maxed out), unemployment, a hault in manufacturing (a leading indicator), slow down in consumer spending, increase of wealthy people shopping at Walmart (never a good sign). These mechanics in addition to isolated geopolitical events would be irresponsible to ignore.

I am in NO WAY saying the sky is falling and run for the hills. We leave emotional decision making for telenovelas. Market corrections happen and I prefer to be pragmatic about them.

Now the question: when calculating speculative rent/ sale price of a flip property, is anyone running shock scenarios that include if: rent/sale price was 10%, 15%, 25%, lower? And, if that said property is still a good investment?

Let’s discuss this openly and objectively.
