Ive currently allocated about 5-10% of my investment fund to explore crowdsourcing related platforms...an amount I personally feel comfortable with, knowing it can be a higher risk environment.  

It's an investment in your investment and it will pay huge dividends in peace of mind. 

The HVAC system was laying on its side underneath the house and moisture, flooding, humid Texas environment really did it in. 

You do not want to own property (or earn income) under the jurisdiction of a desperate & broke government unless there is a risk/return ratio that takes such an environment into consideration.

In today's current lending environment, no matter where the asset is, a line of credit on an investment property, through a conventional lender, is almost near impossible to obtain. 

If you are not able to manage the unit and are not comfortable putting more money into it each month, you could consider taking the loss if there is value on your inner peace.   

I just moved back to my hometown, Charlotte, NC, 2 months ago and I have virtually 0 Realtor relationships in the states where I am licensed.I am just wondering if any of you borrowers, brokers, lenders, or agents out there have any advice regarding things that I could do to start building trusting relationships with Realtors in order to get some leads in my pipeline.Honestly, thank you to those of you who took the time to read this, let alone respond :)PLP(peace, love & positivity)Sincerely,Dominic Balconi

Stay out of bonds in a rising rate environment, but get chunks out of mutual funds/equities for sure.I'd convert to a Roth or withdraw more during lower income years if I could.

Or you can go out and increase your business and spend that time on something that is either financially, emotionally or spiritually more profitable with the calm and peace of knowing that your taxes were completed properly.

I work in an environment that allows me to listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks during my entire shift.
