If it keeps up, that should help soak up the excess that was built and bring everything back in order. 

@Gino Barbaro I believe the seed is set early and fostered via our education system, which by design is built to produce "good consumers and employees". 

I use SFR as a seed to grow into multifamily, where the unit numbers can help absorb costs.But, back to the main question, NO, it's not a myth.

They ask us to step in for everything from a lightbulb to grass seed to whatever.

But I'm trying to soak up as much info as I can :) Definitely planning on directly validating things myself too.Noted on the importance of boots on the ground, I will probably spend some time on my next few trips home to see family doing some networking to set myself up for success.

Thank you for all this information I'm soaking in all in!! 

This raised the valuation of the asset tremendously.On the second occasion, about 2 months ago, a tenant complained a few weeks after the fire department soaked the unit to put out a fire.

Wow, girl...you soaked up the information and took quick action.

I would recommend everyone read this at least three times and just let it soak in.

Soaking up as much information as possible from the Bigger Pockets podcast, preparing myself for taking action, and looking for conections and building relationships.
