Continue to see if you can create other streams of income.Get creative!

Real estate is a rollercoaster of a ride and if you're in it long enough, you will see it all.If you diversify your revenue stream with 5 properties making up your ROI as opposed to just in one, now all of a sudden "that one" vacant property has a far less significance on your bottomline.I always tell me investors that the party starts after property #7 as that is when you start replacing the national income average through cashflow generated by your portfolio.Why cash only? 

All markets require some form of solid risk management, and I love the comments made here by @Rob Barry and @Mark Nickoson -- we might not be rolling up on a big cyclical reset anytime soon (or maybe we are), but in any case, we should all be looking hard at our downside scenarios.And it is probably smart to have multiple investment streams. 

I decided to work with different housing programs to have a dependable stream of income.

(This brings you back to the post above, know your goals) My ultimate goal is passive income streams, everything else is a distraction or a means to an end.

I see your point, if you have a stream of properties under contract with upcoming closing dates.

The upside of office is that if you get a credit tenant you can sign to a long-term lease, you have a solid rental stream.

People on BP often talk about leveraging debt to acquire more properties, I'm leveraging all of these benefits that my employer is offering to help me meet my goals faster, I use RE as one of several types of income streams in my overall portfolio.

Unless you invest in place with only one major employer that close up shop, invest in major employment hub with multiple employer will reduce your risk.
