Standards for becoming a teacher are pretty low. This man has the demeaner and attitude of an adolescent.

$100 says he suffers from depression(probably undiagnosed) and offs himself within five years.

And I’m not joking. Dudes like this are a fucking mess and a half.

FuckTheMainstreamMedia says

Not soon enough.

Oppressive systems, he fails to mention:

Education industrial complex
Abortion industrial complex
Financial systems that benefit the rich only
Big pharmaceutical

He did mention prisons... I guess 1 point there.

But crt doesn’t teach that, it just says whites are bad, blacks are victims. I’ve seen it in schools.

Don't think any of you have been to Rockford. It's a rural city (I think 100k+ population) if that makes sense. Super high crime. They're making the downtown nicer, but they're not pushing the deadbeats out (white or black).

I looked at a few buildings as investments, but I think made the better decision not to touch the place. Not interested in being a slum lord and dealing with constant late payment, evictions, etc. 2012 or so you could pick up 3-4 bed houses for $30k and charge about $1k/mo. Probably higher now, but you're still dealing with the same losers and potential long vacancies. Didn't make sense.

So as far as the teacher in the video, it makes sense. They have to hire people from the bottom of the barrel intelligence wise to work there. And I don't know the district there well enough, but a lot of bigger municipalities/cities here require the teacher live in district. It's why Chicago Public School are horrid. Good teachers usually have a spouse that does okay and have no interest living near ghettos. So few good teachers work for CPS.

I actually looked up one girl I was a roommate with for a semester in college. Even she left CPS. Probably one of the brightest teachers I know. Rhodes scholar, Ph. D., Masters, etc. She did get to a higher level within the union when the one black bitch was spouting off and having teacher strikes. She was friends with my sister, so I've got to ask her what happened. Kind of weird as she was heavy into helping poor communities. She taught in Englewood (Chicago) for christ sake. Top 3 worst neighborhoods in Chicago consistently.

Either way, ghetto areas generally are not getting top talent outside of a few exceptions. I'm guessing the girl I'm talking about above probably got burned out. Or at some point future employment gets fucked because you taught at a school that has 70% graduation rates.

Oh yeah, OP video. Regardless of anything the guy said, I wouldn't want any of my children in his classroom. Looks like a total pedo and a guy that hasn't washed or gotten a haircut in a year. Lose the mustache as well. Teachers and coaches are around your kids almost as much as the parents. Have some self respect and at least attempt to look decent.

The price/rent ratio looks best for landlords in the worst neighborhoods, but that's because you often won't be able to collect the rent.

Some Australian bought up houses in Detroit years ago, but was shot and killed when trying to collect the rent. He was just very naive about the whole situation. He wouldn't have been killed in Australia.

Cheech and Chong Floyd High. Where they put the 'high' in high school.

And because there is little to no long term building appreciation.

Lots of dead, OD'd multiple voters I bet.

That sealed the deal for me in Rockford and not pulling the trigger. Cash flow would be great with quality tenants, but the hassle of collecting from deadbeats would have been a complete drag. You do it for years, burn out and the building is worth what you bought it for and you pay the depreciation savings back when you sell and you had no gains on the value of the property. You get 10-20 houses/units and it's a full time job for one person. You don't get days off.

Some can pull it off, but you need to own the places outright. Any leverage/debt in these ghetto places and you're likely doomed to fail. You have to be able to float some of these places when tenants get delinquent for months. Everything always looks better on paper. Then reality happens or a bad tenant screen slips through the cracks.
