We were both stunned.

I've got an absolutely stunning young lady in escrow right now for an investment property that nets >$16k/month between SSA, SSA disability because she is in a wheelchair, pension, and life insurance payouts. 

In CA, things are particularly tenant friendly, and details about required move in and move out procedures are, as you know, very specific; here, it appears to be exactly the opposite.I don't remember details offhand of what the laws said, but I was really stunned to find out how little protection renters actually have here when I researched it to find out if certain provisions in my lease could possibly be legal before signing it, because there is no way they would be in CA.  

The nightlife is full of art galleries, late night cupcakeries and restaurants, and the live-work lofts in those grand early 20c. stone highrises are absolutely stunningly beautiful places to live now.Anyway, I'm starting small where I'm at with the resources I can muster with the people I can connect with now.

Make sure the words used to describe your house are “Stunning, spacious and immaculate!”

Derek I am on your team you keep at it... nothing wrong with paying cash.. most of the most successful and truly wealthy poeple investors i know have much of their real estate debt free and no other debt alltogether.. but do understand those that are starting with limited cash and not making stunning yearly income .. need leverage to scale.if I live in a market or was buying when some folks i know were paying 7 to 15k cash for decent homes I would pay cash and set it and forget it.. your doing well keep at it and don't listen to the naysayers.. no debt is a great place to be..

I went back and looked at the stats and I was stunned.

Some stunningly ill-informed advice being offered on this one, but @Jason Allen's input is pretty solid.

I'm concerned the problem won't be solved until quite a bit of permanent ecosystem damage is done, as well as drastically impacting some of the stunning recreational sources our state has to offer.
