I did one house I may end up taking a small loss on, we'll see.

Chalk these losses up to tuition. 

As firefighters persist in battling the blazes, many residents are left assessing their financial and emotional losses.

I have a wife and 3 kids and the weight of their futures on my back.

Would you have net income or net loss without the cost seg study?

When I have last minute cancellations, I still pay them.

Companies typically last only ten years on average.

Some items might hold more weight than others, but you guys should sort through that together.You also might just do the partnership deal by deal - sometimes jumping into a partnership before you have officially worked together is NOT the best idea...

Assuming you don't have a mortgage that requires a certain level of insurance, you can get a stop-loss policy covering all the properties. 

This property gives me significant income, so losing it would be an extreme loss.
