They were meaningful to me as objects - I spent a lot of my young boy days assembling the collection of Mantles, Mays, Clementes, and the like - and they've experienced massive appreciation, which is nice.

I'm getting shiny object syndrome again.....urgh.

It may violate all sales rules, but I tell new investors fairly regularly not to invest when I feel their objectives are misaligned with the fund we are offering.

Only only one tenant objected and they had a good rental history so I continued to rent to them.

However, it is important for investors to consider their own risk tolerances and investment objectives and not just focus on tax benefits. 

@Thomas S.Great advice - thxSo if I took out a large amount as protection, the hope is that there will be an HOA decision during the process in whicn he objects to the withheld funds.

You personally not liking something isn't the same as objective constructive criticism.

If I come across a deal that meets my objectives tomorrow, or next week-I'm buying!

You want to inflict a level of pain for them to continue to occupy *your* house once you've sold it that will encourage them to go - unless, of course, the objective is to maintain them as a long-term tenant.

In case you were uncertain about how weird Massachusetts law can be, our licensing classes and CE courses specifically state that using the term "walking distance" or "a short walk" discriminates against people without legs.You CAN say 1/10th mile to the beach as that's an objective fact.
