And as such, gets to expect to have the home to live in, without being invaded.And, imagine what it would be like to have a horde of complete strangers (and in SF right now, any open house will be a mass infusion of strangers) walking through your home, perhaps looking in your closets, your jewelry box, you medicine cabinets, checking out your stereo, your televisions, your computers....As an owner, do you really want that liability? 

Proper capitalization and reserves is the corner stone of real estate investing.the refi till you die while a good strategy to scale needs to be tempered with fiscal realities if you do hit a bump in the road or like Russ is talking about a brick wall at 100 mph.. this is not about those that will get the Virus this is about those that work in industries  that are being shut down.. some will get paid regardless others will get help from various sources but others will have no choice but to either buy food and medicine or pay rent. 

Hmmm, honey, is there a way we could make this medicine cabinet space multi-functional? 

We took one similar to your posting of an old medicine cabinet and painted the frame white.

Ya know, for medicine!

I have a career in medicine as a physician assistant and own 1 rental property (single family home) my wife and I have owned for about 6 years.

If you don't know her balance and she won't tell you, then there's no way to make a deal.

I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and Health with plans to pursue medicine, which quickly changed because I was always interested in business and investing.

Told her $1m/month   Because the medicine is expensive and we haven’t found any open market health insurance that makes it affordable. $1500 a month is about 25% of what my monthly plan costs now  To make matter more exciting, our plan through work had been trying to get the amount it pays reduced as it is. 

My long term goal is to make RE a healthy part of my portfolio and become financial independent early so I can practice medicine because I love to do it and not because I need to pay the bills.
