Down the line I will have collapse all properties into one account and keep the security deposits separate.

If the property is older, then there may be roots in the sewer line, or collapse of the line feeding off the property.

I have a high-stress job and need to create other streams of income asap before I burn out and collapse in a blaze of exhaustion and defeat... that is all ;) 

People were saying the exact same thing, how can anyone make any $ with prices collapsing.

The real money came when we sold that property six years later for double what we paid for it, and we were able to pay cash for foreclosures from banks that were going out of business in the big collapse.

In my experience, you need to be conservative when investing because everything increases (insurance, real estate taxes, etc.) and you could also have surprises (roof needs replacement, floor is collapsing, etc.).

We take care of repairs that are the result of structural issues - a collapsed sewer pipe, or a busted corroded water line, for example.

The previous owner collapsed the HOA and we are purchasing 119 of the 120 units in the complex.

The fastest way to increase your networth would be to use leverage, and keep 10% or 20% cash for emergency incase a tenant leaves or the economy collapse. $1M in the midwest can generate up to $10,000 cash flow a month!!
