Unless there is something structurally wrong you’re not divulging then I’d keep your super low interest rate/cashflow and pull out a HELOC to play with for investments.Timing an earthquake is like timing the market, impossible to do.

Or, a charging order may be granted.If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

Every market has its risk.. whether its tornadoes, fires, earth quakes and hail. 

Not really statistically significant to be honest. unless your properties were in the SF bay area price drops were 20 to 50% .. it was exacerbated by the loma Preita earthquake.

We are long overdue for the depression, the tsunami and the mega earthquake too.

A poorly-structured deal with an improper debt structure, not enough reserves raised and adverse market conditions derail the cash, uncontrollable bad debt that sacrifices cash flow with no ability by the sponsor to bridge the gap, uninsured total earthquake loss (or similar uncovered loss), nuclear war, just to name a few.  

Second, Doomsday posters need to refer to history and see how these great cities have come back from devastating setbacks that include natural disasters like major earthquakes or human oriented terrorist attacks.

It's like saying the after-shocks are in direct relation to the initial earthquake.

Smiling Steve Babiak got mixed up with my > and <'s.You helped me to realize that I need GRM's less than or equal to 4 for these properties to make any sense.Ugh, isn't California supposed to fall off into the Ocean next earthquake anyway?
