My anxiety has been mainly that it's going to be broken into while it's vacant, since it's a couple blocks from some pretty marginal neighborhoods.

Hopefully he won't do that;- There's no reason to believe that the $1.7T will be recurring, as much of that was a one-time bailout to spur the economy.

After you do one or two, the anxiety will lessen and you will be able find the good deals with confidence because you aren't beating down doors to find a deal.

Those who advocate the "50% rule" recognize that there are a number of expenses that are recurring and non-recurring; the non-recurring ones can be difficult to ascertain at first - new landlords don't realize them until they get hit (or maybe "bit" is more appropriate) by them.It could be that in this instance, "cash flow" means that PITI is covered and there is some money left after that.

When something needs to be paid for, whether it is on a recurring basis or not, me or my secretary will input a debit and note which property.

J:I don't have it there--I was referring to the general global anxiety about everything money-related these days.

Although we held up well in the real estate meltdown (I use no leverage), the anxiety of my clients has become wearing.

but with that healthy eating is important too. it is very important to work off anxiety, stress and similar negative impacts. thats why you can feel more balanced, relaxed, patient and that. the nutritions in the healthy foods also add to that. one important thing is that caffeine has negative effects actually, and promotes fatiquness and anxiety, and so should be avoided. i feel i better after having done soem exercise. and doing it in the morning is the perfect way to start the day. but then again, i do it when it fits in my day.:)

That said, the season finale of Dexter gave me the most anxiety I ever felt while watching TV.

That's true, but I am sure the anxiety of going through all of this for a that size of a commission will really piss me off, haha.
