I am in a lucky position of having almost completely gutted the mirror image condo I am in currently.

If they didn't do that, they would starve when winter arrives.The Future is VERY important.Another analogy I like to use is to Drive your Investments like an Investment Vehicle.When you look at past Data such as previous Sales, you are looking at the Rear View Mirror of your Investment Vehicle.When you look at current data, such as the current Rents and Expenses to calculate your Current cashflows or your Cash on Cash Return, you are looking at the side view... watching the action go by as it is occurring.When you look through the Windshield of your Investment Vehicle, you are looking at the road ahead.... seeing the path that it is taking you... and all the obstacles in the way.You are less likely to CRASH your investment vehicle by focusing on looking through your Windshield than remaining fixated on the Rear View Mirror or the Side Windows.If the bridge is out and you fail to see the bright red warning signs..... if your eyes are not looking straight through that windshield........ you will Drive your Investment Vehicle into the abyss down below.So please.....

Definitely something I’m hoping to mirror!

Mirror Wrap?

That means you are a mirror...not the reflection from that mirror. 

My best advice mirrors those above, focus on the positive.

Bathroom remodel: sink, toilet, shower/tub, mirror with storage behind. 

The FI market has the strongest correlation with the stock market (although it's negative) and only is only loosely correlated with real estate prices.Not to mention you're going to have to pay the ETF fees.If I really wanted to hedge (which I don't) I'd short a REIT that most closely mirrors my investments (single family residential in my case).

I tend to agree with this and it mirrors what Bruce Norris talked about at the oakland eventat least as it related to west coast...
