Please explain the vulnerability.

After years of refusing to change their tactics, the Realtors’ agreed to a settlement now because they were vulnerable to government action.

I get the less leverage aspect makes you more vulnerable to the underlying house price, but the lack of debt gives you the ability to maneuver around that & its likely a high house price point will appreciate more than the average over the long haul but these are just two years in, you got to wait till really year 8 to start trading the equity. 

Big jury award in a personal injury type lawsuit, or spouse and/or children wresting control away from you when you get older, or one bad deal for one property bleeds over the makes the others vulnerable, or you find yourself unable to pay huge tax liability at some point and want to be judgment proof on paper so IRS cannot seize assets and has to do an offer in compromise with you?

We basically have two options as a for-profit company: A: scale massively with huge overhead (like we were doing at 50 deals a month at times at MartelTurnkey) or B: leverage our experience and success to train others how to be profitable with micro flips and be less vulnerable to market volatility and shifts.

However, if you're looking for payment reliability, I'd recommend a slightly different strategy that aligns well with consistent income.Partnering with non-profit organizations that support vulnerable populations, like the Veterans Affairs or groups assisting people with developmental disabilities, could be highly beneficial.

Keep money on hand.But, if you are well funded, know what you are doing, stick to the law, are proactive, are organized and honest and don't promise what you can't perform and don't "rent back" to the seller for any reason at all and don't borrow from or involve people who can't afford to lose their investment with you and don't put 3rd and 4th liens (borrowed money) on properties and don't buy from "vulnerable people", and you buy only in states that don't focus on suing for perceived wrongs, it won't be a problem, most of the time. ;-)

But there are some challenges; notably it's easy to rehab out all your equity and it can be hard to find contractors/vendors sometimes.Also, a small town can be particularly vulnerable if it's reliant on one major company if that company leaves.

This bill will actually harm our most vulnerable, those disabled and elderly, by discouraging Landlords from signing 12 month leases with Tenants who utilize the AHFC (sect 8) programs.Alaska House Bill 262

Amelia and Grace really foster such an amazing atmosphere where everybody truly feels like they can be themselves, be silly, ask the 'stupid questions,' be VULNERABLE, etc.
