Hey, I really like the app and have signed up. One thing I would add is multi- family units. Even better would be the concept of "house hacking" or buying a multi-family and moving into one of the units. This may just be a US thin

This is a great article. It is crazy how little things change in a hundred years. Hopefully we aren't on the brink of a 1930s type correction

This guy put in an insane amount of research and work to do this. I don't think there is a "secret moral superiority", but this takes a lot of dedication and focus which few people on this planet could achieve. I find this to
