@Keith HebertYou ‘ve gotten alot of good advice on here, my advice is pay top dollar for high value/low frequency tasks and look at outsourcing your low value high frequency tasks.Pay a CPA to do your taxes and review your books on a quarterly or annual basis-get a bookeeper (there is alot of good 3rd party bookeeping services that work remote) have them do all the data entry/recs and set up checks so all you have to do is print and sign them.

So they set all of the gold cars they saw in the parking lot on fire.No caption necessary for this toilet from hell.This is what a kitchen can look like when a low income tenant moves out of it.This is what a backyard can look like when a low income tenant moves out of it.If tenants in these tough neighborhoods don't have yards, don't worry they will light off their fourth of July fireworks in their bathrooms.Don't worry though.

Tough to predict ten years out, none of the data providers go out further than five.According to CoStar, 1-3 star office properties in Poway have a 3.4% vacancy that trends up gradually to 6% by 2022, with consistent negative absorption of about 2500 sf / quarter.

The REIA here in town has changed somewhat in the last few years, but there's still networking opportunities there and there's a BP meetup here in town the fourth Thursday of each month, I think.  

Thanks  @Jason DiClemente, @Mike D'Arrigo , and @Jaron Walling.Would you say you are seeing a 5-10% decrease in prices during the last quarter of the year?

And having a third (or fourth) mortgage would insulate you from "calls" on your LOC.

You can maybe get it a quarter percent lower at best, but on that loan size, I wouldn't worry about leaving them in search of that difference.

They turned out to be excellent tenants, and I have kept all of them now for a fourth straight year.

Even with a 3rd party manager it is still your job to manage the manager and you should expect to be out on the properties at least once a quarter

In the four weeks ended Sept. 16, more than one-quarter of the homes listed for sale had a price drop, according to Redfin, a real estate brokerage.
