Fully agree. A pet peeve of mine. I'd even take it further and say that using leverage as a verb is trashy corporate-speak.

Leverage, low hanging fruit, circle back, circle up, touch base... All horrible. Any others out there?

"To action". There are 30+ verbs in the English language that denote action. And yet people have to use the one that doesn't exist

"Let's offline this convo" - when we're we online??

First time I heard high level thoughts I legitimately thought my boss was talking about vague ideas you think of when you're in a "high" state....he's a bit weird

Im 35. Considering to start investing in Real Estate this year. Looking to buy 1 property to start generating cash flow, but most importantly, long term equity. No plans to sell. Condo or Single family residence. Considering booming areas like Austin, Vegas or somewhere with potential to grow. Will need local help, since I don’t live there (realtor + property manager). Already have 20% down, but considering putting less. All closing fees are also covered. Is this a good idea or should just wait?
