1. How do you feel about low unemployment, low interest rates, rising wages, more people entering the upper class?  

2.  What makes you think stock market "returns" and appreciating property values are "fake"?  

Check out TrafficMaster's Allure vinyl planks.  They are floating floors, water resistant, easy to install over existing laminate or vinyl.  I did them in a bathroom.  

@Andrew Johnson Good to know, I appreciate that info.  What site(s) would you recommend?  

Look for smaller, local banks.  I've used them in a similar situation.  

 Rookie question - Is LoopNet the go-to site for apartment complexes for sale?  And what are the other sites?  

Thanks in advance. 

That sounds like a child neglect/safety issue and or abuse of the disabled - with all the laws California has they are probably violating a couple there.  Ask your lawyer what you should do about that, I might be calling Health & Human Service if it was me.  They might not hang around with government agencies showing up wanting to investigate them.  

Great post, great pics, great details.  Congratulations on your success!

 Are you implying that we are not in a bubble right now?  

From an article in the Economist on 8/24/16:

"On average, American home prices have recovered nearly all their losses from the 2006 crash, but when adjusted for inflation they are still 20% below the 2006 peak."

Since it seems like you need more money and less debt, I think the best way you can get to the "real estate gambling table" is to first get more money.  Apply for new jobs, expand your skills in your current field, get a second job, Teach USA program or the military (pays back student loans) are a few ideas for improving your bottom line in the near future.  Good luck to you.
