Portland, Maine is, from a management standpoint, a train wreck. 

Antioch six - years ago was a train wreck.

OMG....never heard of that kid before.....what a dumba$$...i got sidetracked reading his blog, it's like driving past a car wreck....but he put himself in that situation so nobody but himself to blame.

I invested passively in a single family rental, and it went well the first year, then the tenant skipped town and wrecked the place.

Go wreck and build something and at least double that 6 figure income.

@Lori Williams I have out of state investors call me all the time desperate to sell properties that they bought in areas where people literally will steal the aluminum siding off as far as they can reach....but the prices that they paid are ridiculous....it's highway robbery and in all cases, when I saw the properties they were wrecks and the worst part is most of them paid cash so they didn't even have the protection of an appraisal and they're too trusting, believing what the person selling the property to them is telling them without doing their own due diligence. 

I don't have anything on a business card (don't even have a business card right now), but I would consider myself an entrepreneur.In fact, my 'elevator speech' is that I'm a homewrecker - that makes people stare at me, grin a little, wondering if I'm joking and then they go off on my floor to hear what exactly I mean ;-).When you do major rehab, you have to demo first (wreck), before you can do rehab.

When you have 3-4 college kids renting a house, one helicopter parent can quickly wreck the social cohesion of the house, so it is best for them not to be on the lease.A guarantor provides assurances of their charge's fiscal obligations.  

All things considered she is a train wreck waiting to happen.

My two biggest concerns are the following:* Keeping my assets protected - If I get in a car wreck and sued, or something of the sorts, I want to be able to keep my rentals "hidden" away and not brought in as an asset that could potentially be taken from me, as I plan to have them provide for my retirement.* Protecting my personal credit - I have worked hard since I got my first credit card 10 years ago, to keep my credit flawfless and to this day, it is.
