I've posted last months event in the events section of Bigger Pockets. 

This way in the event that something happens to me anyone can simply pick up the binders and run the portfolio.

While reading your post I was thinking "sell the Cali properties", but with 3-4% interest rates (and I'm assuming those are long term fixed rates) you will be best off to cash out refi (non-tax event) and use those funds to buy multifamily.

In the event that such notice of non-renewal by Owner is received by Broker, Owner shall pay Company the Management Fees, rental commissions, and all other outstanding fees set forth in this Agreement for the length of the tenant lease (including any lease extensions or renewals) or the remainder of the term of this Agreement, whichever is the greater of the two.

Finally, in the event that the rental market underperforms, have a clear exit strategy in place, such as selling the property.Hope this helps!

(even though it sounds like a crazy tenant with no justification for those numbers, what if they really did have justification and won their case)I don't want to be wiped out completely in a terrible event, i'd rather just lose the rental property and not have my personal assets be at risk....exact reason LLCs exist.  

Michael - I've always recommended "DIG" - Diversified Investors Group, who meets in Montgomery County and has a TON of events every month.

Next thing I know she’s inviting me to a local investor event on Wednesday and telling me for how new I am that I’m already doing really well and to just keep doing what I’m doing.

Failure is not an event.

There probably plenty of real estate networking events in your area or nearby if that's what you seek.
