So have a backup plan if your first scenario doesn't work out.I would definitely try to meet face to face so that your can act quickly and don't loose anything in translation via email or text, which often happens.You've already taken that action to invest so I'm sure you're ready to tackle this as well.

This would also translate to less time with the money placed yielding close to 0% financial return, or whatever can be captured in the overnight treasury market. 

This translates to outrage and pressure on politicians.

Which translates to Yeah what Crosswind said!

Hi Michael: "sold their home" to me may translate into "lost their home".

So, one vacancy a year translated into 1/24th of the annual rent, which is about 4% per month. 

Combined, that is $833,000, which should translate to ~$50,000 of annual passive income at a 6% cash on cash return rate.Of course, it is entirely possible that you can reach this goal with a much lower amount of cash and time if your return rate is higher or the deal goes full-cycle quicker.

And the more I read from you, the easier it is to understand your style and "translate" it into my own ;)I am always glad I take the time necessary to understand your message.

Creativity also translates to unconventional perspectives.

For me I like to find the simplest common denominator, and then translate what that means.
