@Minh L. was nice enough to offer me a ride from the San Jose aiport, so I can make it!

It should be a fun ride! 

Is this a good idea or ride the cash flow until they move out?

@Paul Schuw @Rob Scarborough   I downloaded the first few podcasts for my ride home, then downloaded 78...can't hurt to skip ahead for one episode, right?

Ride the cycles.

Just keep buying good assets at good prices with enough cushion on margins and cash reserves that you can ride out a downturn without too much stress.

I like Vegas for a few reasons personally even though there is NO turn key there1. desert air.. maintenance is minimall NO hail  no shifting foundations and no sky rocketing property tax's  ( as oppossed to Texas were all this is common place.. sky high property tax's  shifting foundations Hail ( new roofs think of your deductible)  etc etc.but there are plenty of markets out there.. as much as anything is about PM but if your in CA and in Oakland I think another good play is parts of Richmond that don't have any rent control. find those..

Whether you need a ride to the airport or need someone to help lay landscape or rip out a toilet I'd love to shadow you, absorb all that I can, and help you with any projects along the way!

It has already been a crazy roller coaster ride, one day everything is smooth sailing, the next day we run into a major issue that needs a remedy.

@Brian Burke  one big variable owning that many homes in Tornado and convective activity central is not if but when 300 of your houses get hit with a massive hail storm.. and you have to pay your deductible to replace all those roofs  LOL and if you have that kind of portfolio you usually go for high deductible like 5k... that right there could wipe you out.
