One other factor that I've not mentioned is the bullet train being built which may change the market a bit but that is a ways out there. 

If I ever am, I will accept the fact that I might not come out of it "made whole" - meaning I might lose some rent, there may be damage to the property that I cannot collect, I might have a vacancy, I might have to spend time and energy marketing, showing, and re-renting a property that should not have a vacancy.

Dodged a bullet and I am so happy for that.  

I’m already talking to a couple and am open to any partnership that can be a solid win-win.I’ve gotten familiar with the local market and have the flexibility, time, and energy to manage deals.

There are no bullet proof stocks. 2008 was not a year for real estate as well.

I't was not easy getting this deal it wasn't that much but it was just a sense of energy in my body that made me smile .

Sometimes sending a similar message to multiple people is not the same as spamming and it's simply a measure in saving time and energy.

Here is what I do when I form a new LLC and need an operating agreement:Draft some bullet points that are points of agreement, and points that need further discussion between the two partners.  

I looked at apts for rent ads that sat to over a monthThen I called and asked if they would like all their rental headaches gone.And talked to them like a friend asked if it was easy Then said I would be happy to take their problems away as I was young with tons of energy to do repairs, evict bad tenets etcAnd all I wanted to do was pay them a set amount   Each month as opposed to the up-and-down rental situation that had gotten themselves into Believe it or not the conversation can Flovent Easley back-and-forth them finding out about me and me finding out about them and what they're able to do and want to do

Also taking on your advice about electric, I want to have as effective an energy efficiency rating as possible.
