A property owner was sued by a tenant who did work on the building for injuries sustained. 

Biggest reason why investors will not start in CA unless they have the funds to sustain the value of a recession when it was inflated when bought. 

So focusing on cashflow, IF IT IS GENUINE AND SUSTAINABLE, makes it almost impossible to go broke.However it is also almost impossible to get wealthy on it either so that's the problem. 

That gives an accurate idea of what's fair and sustainable for a true business.

I am pretty focused on sustainability so my updates are going to include a lot of LED lighting and water saving measures, going to be one big green money-making machine here soon.Tenants on the other side came with the purchase so haven't gotten to test out the ultimate guide on tenant screening yet. 

Granted, it won't sustain those high rents, but for several months insurance companies are paying premiums in rents for homeowners that have lost housing. 

Presently I work full time at Wal-Mart as a Maintenance Supervisor and wish to be able to earn a self sustaining income through real estate so that I can retire my 9 to 5 job, be my own boss and have time to travel with my wife and enjoy life.                            

Over 3.5% percent growth in a month is impressive growth, but is that sustainable over the course of a year?

As always make sure each property will sustain itself and positive cash flow.

In a hot market a lot of people will work on smaller margin as they underestimate the risk premium as the market sustains a bullish run.
