Like a Grocery Store, Most Retailers, and even Real Estate Traders (a variant of the wholesalers and investors in the housing sector)?

We're on the transitioning areas..... though Trader Joe's.... lol and targets rather than Walmart/dollar general.

I spent 15 years as a registered Investment Adviser and trader and we always preached maintaining AT least 3-6 months emergency funds (monthly expenses COMBINED) at all times. 

I'm a software developer and day trader, looking to get my feet wet with REI

Instead we chose the Japanese model of quantitative easing.

One was in Garbage,, one in court reporting.. .one took a company public.. the other Japanese development family big interests in hawaii ( so that is real estate)....

Many people will tell you go for a Japanese model car because they are more reliable, and they are right, most are.

We have some of the most authentic Asian food around -- Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino... 

And by the way this is 11 studios in a B- neighborhood, within 0.5 miles you have cafes, nice bars and restaurants; within 1.5 miles you have Starbucks, Trader Joe's, etc. so the location is great, hence why we might accept a lower return... or I'm just making excuses because I still like it and we're trying to figure out a way to make it work!

If you are available I would really appreciate the facetime or meetup.As for the question earlier about japanese houses, they usually are not built to last very long due to the earthquakes and weather here.
