You tend to have breathing room to cover living expenses and more time to think on next investments to scale and grow the portfolio.That's very hard to do when trying to scratch and claw to get a start wondering where money is coming from to eat and pay the bills to survive another day.

There was one instance discussed in the forums with a syndicator called Norada (you can search the forums for that name) where they not only stopped paying dividends, but also converted everyone’s capital to an equity position - which is code for “We don’t plan to give your money back unless we can survive to eventually sell the building.”  

Also, if I receive an application from a renter with a LARGE service dog, am I required to accept it, knowing that the grass in the small patch of lawn will not survive it (I am currently having to resod because of a departing renter's big dog).THANKS in advance.

Also, there's a better chance it will survive the first tenant.

Our Dad got remarried after our mother passed away.Dad had a will and prenuptial agreement with the second wife.She still survives.

As sales slow, agents look for new ways to make money and survive.

The exception is a reverse mortgage which have breach terms that include death of last debtor on title or a surviving spouse.From a practical standpoint, mortgage lenders and their loan servicers are not looking for a reason to accelerate (call loan all due) but may be triggered by poor admin practices of sub-2 buyer.

You may want to consider targeting 3-6 months of reserves to cover all your expenses, so you can survive surprises.

The key is not just to survive those moments but to use them as opportunities to grow.

So at least if he gets stiffed he can still survive.
