You certainly have a greater exposure to risks that are directly proportional to owning longer like toxics.

Because you can barely keep a used car on the road for less then 150 a month so an extra 100 dollar bill might be worth the dependability and warranty you get on say a smaller compact car for commuting.I just worry about all the if's in life that happen when you borrow money if pmts have to be made by you and not a tenant.

Have a business emergency fund that is proportioned to your portfolio3.

Developers prefer to build/sell high end of course, and thus will offer proportionally less lower end units. 

We can have a little of that here in ORegon if a builder built on non compacted fill.. but nothing like what happens there were you just have gods dirt moving on you... :)  Flood insurance is a joke these days... one year its out the next year they redraw the maps.. frustrating.

Ok, something more in proportion to the "deadly hazard of STR's" and the 1 death per week....

I have looked at the hopper guns and also the Graco texture sprayers.I am wondering if there are any contractors or members in general who have a Graco Texspray HP Compact?

half an inch is enough to carry live loads, why do you need more if sub surface is compact?

If the tax also grows proportionally, then it is a deal breaker.Am I missing something ?

There, its value might be the same proportion: $150,000.And in yet other parts of the country, the same property might get just $750/m.And guess what?
