Your website down right now? If so, you're not alone. As of this post on Nov 18, a major Cloudflare service degradation is taking down large parts of the internet.

Even, If some of your favorite sites like ChatGPT is down, it's not just you. Cloudflare, a massive piece of the internet's infrastructure, is having some serious service degradation issues.

Think of Cloudflare as a major highway for a huge chunk of the internet. Right now, there's a problem on that highway, so a lot of traffic is backed up, leading to widespread "internal server errors".

Cloudflare has already identified the issue and are working on a fix, so things should start coming back online soon.

For those of us in tech, this is a stark reminder about single points of failure. Even the biggest companies can go down, and when they do, the effects ripple across the entire digital world.

It's a great example of why redundancy is so important and why relying on any single provider is a risk.

I'm thrilled to share my third real estate project, which has been a fantastic learning experience and a testament to the power of knowledge in real estate investing.

This property came through a wholesaler who ran out of his buyer's list. I bought this gem of a property just 10 minutes from downtown Charlotte, securing it for $80,000.

The catch? It had serious foundational issues, something that perhaps deterred many investors. But here's where the magic happens – thanks to my previous project, where I tackled a major foundation fix, I was ready and equipped to take on this challenge without a second thought.

This is a perfect example of what I discussed in my "Advantages of Real Estate Investing" video. If you have not watched it, you should in my video series, "Unlock the Secrets of Real Estate Investing Series".

The knowledge you gain in this field isn't just for a single project. Every challenge you embrace teaches you invaluable lessons, giving you an unfair advantage and edge that's simply priceless.

With a $50,000 in renovations, I transformed this property into a stunning space, attracting a fantastic long-term tenant.

The result? Not only does this property generate a significant positive cash flow, but its value has also doubled in just four years!

This is the incredible power of real estate investing. It's a clear demonstration of how embracing challenges and maintaining an open mindset can exponentially increase the value of your investments.

So, my advice? Never hesitate to take on challenges in real estate investing. Each one is an opportunity to grow, learn, and ultimately, succeed beyond your expectations.

The number of fun facts from this property was too many to write in a single post. Will save it for the future.

Let me leave you with something. When I went to tour this property, the electric stove oven was ON and left open. Can you guess why?!

After seeing all the recent superhost posts, figured I should check my status ☺️. I have been hosting since 2018 and never missed a superhost status or getting a 5* (99.9% of the time) no matter how undesirable neighborhood my property was situated.

This is the first time I was able to record my screen and I love how Airbnb presents it.

This is on my new account which I started last may, because I stopped doing the Airbnb for over two yrs between and started again last May.

I love hosting and connecting with people. It doesn’t take a lot. Just do what you say you would and always be kind and proactive. Simply, treat the people how you want to be treated.
