Its maddening but I remember that one of the reasons I'm successful Is their lack of professionalism, so its a double edge sword that I now embrace. 

However, this embraces a vast area. http://us.spindices.com/indices/real-estate/sp-cas...Do people buy these two flats places thinking they will make any money?

Instead of avoiding the thought of death, I embrace it, and that puts a lot of things in perspective.

Hopefully, a wholesaler with some knowledge and ability in my market will approach me, in which case I will embrace him/her.

I read about so called 541 trust …when a creator brags the trust was not penetrated so far in any case.

Spend $150 on "Great Stuff" and go into the attic and seal every plumbing and electrical penetration.

If that is not you, it is ok, embrace it, and find what you ARE and what way to best invest as that.

Don't be afraid of leverage, embrace it:) Let me comment on the money.

The anonymous land trust is nearly impossible to penetrate in court. 

If you are in a 500 yr flood zone then you have a decision to make and if you are at all risk adverse then get flood ins. and if you are not in a 100 or 500 year flood zone, and have inadequate reserves to handle damages, you're probably a good candidate for for flood ins but you are not embracing many of the strategies that are consistently discussed here on BP and other REI sites.
