If people say they can't make it at that time, I take down their info and contact them again if the showing doesn't end up getting it rented.Another option is installing a combo lockbox, then having the interested party call or text when they arrive and then call when they've locked it back up (obviously get as much of their information as possible to mitigate the risk).  

Of course there is also insurance and taxes and maintenance (still well lower than the $1500 for stocks) but it is an asset that will appreciate (specifically where I buy) and if there is a crash I still get the rent.I do also invest in stocks using a method called Iron Condor on the S&P500 Index.

In reality, you are in the drivers seat IMO should the market crash during your HML.

Good markets didn't drop during the 2008 crash...2- Cheap Houses.

I'm assuming most were written in the 90's before the real estate crash.

there are 2-day crash courses available.

Arrived home and someone took $750 US.  

After the real estate crash, apartments took off for several reasons.  

App crashed while I tried to post this and I thought it didn't go through. 

This ultimately allows the bbb to arrive at an arbitrary figure which is not surprisingly at least 5 to 10% more conservative than what the market suggests it to be.
