All of a sudden they are wanting to “re-discuss” the lease because the neighbor’s dog barks a lot and they play music in the middle of the night ie 2:30am until 5:30am quite often - week days, weekends, it doesn’t matter.

Buying strictly on the premise of capital appreciation is a game of musical chairs that I'd prefer to not participate in!

So I was playing musical chairs with them much as you might with credit card balance transfers.  

That same analogy can be use with finding a plumber, listening to music, the pants we wear, or just about anything really.  

My passion is music and engineering but well, OK, never turned a dime on either one but what I’ve learned from the people in my life who have their financial freedom (my father, aunt, former bosses) is that they didn’t do it alone.

The houses are all jammed together and some of the PMs are renting out 9br homes for $100/nt to bad guests that play loud music and get into big fights outside. 

It was musical tenants for awhile. 

I'll tell you that Real Estate can be a lot like music if you don't have deep pockets.

Meanwhile, I went to a music festival that closed-IN people living in rundown apartment buildings.It was surreal.The city literally had an entire section of town off of Fremont St closed off, and people lived in government houses inside the festival.
