Don't you pity them in their weakness and vulnerability in situations like these because they don't have it?

Regarding tax vulnerability, try connecting with an investor friendly CPA who can advise you on how you on what routes to take for optimal savings.

With 100% occupancy AND a waiting list, he is vulnerable to an influx of competition.

Great job on being 100% transparent and vulnerable with your situation at hand, Michael.

@Roman Bulgakov If you do not have a good handle on local landlord/tenant laws as it pertains to filling a rental in your area I would recommend either hiring an agent who specializes in filling rentals to do it for you and/or meeting with a local attorney who can breakdown for you the process you should be following.I know the laws pertaining to this subject here in CT are not rocket science to understand, but I see people everyday leaving themselves in vulnerable situations when filling rentals.

I believe the single family or small multi family space would be the better alternative to condo investing.Buying one or two units in a building can leave you vulnerable.

I can assure you their cash balance is much larger than any of us, probably combined.It's a fair and prudent question for you to ask, and I can understand some people prefer not to use that kind of system in their business, but unless someone can identify a specific vulnerability that does not involve teller negligence, I don't think you have to worry. 

But, from what I've read, re-surfacing seems like a bad idea for a rental because that process leaves the bathtub more vulnerable to damage and it starts looking bad after a number of years.I'd really like to save and keep this bathtub, but I have no idea how I can clean it and get rid of those things. 

It is all but impossible to do this at a distance and hiring a property management company leaves you open to the same vulnerabilities.

Or have a professional plumber do a pressure check with compressed air without turning the water main back on.The things that are maybe more vulnerable are going to be the toilet traps - the traps are actually within the bowls.
