Incomes, past prices, S&P market cap, market cap of Bay Area companies or is it just that people have a fear that the 2008 housing crisis is a recurring event that happens every 10 years?

So I know there's a no pet policy but my therapist is discussing me getting an emotional support dog to help with my anxiety and depression"I do not want pets at the complex, because even her allowed dog will create issues with the other tenants who have wanted pets at the property (i.e., they will start figuring ways to get their pets in either through the same route, or by just bringing them in unauthorized).I'm interested in how others would handle the situation?

@Igor Arango....I understand your anxiety but it is just a story in your head...a limiting belief.  

One of the reasons I haven't used direct mail yet is the anxiety with getting the first call.

Capital improvements are definitely Non recurring expense items that should be backed out of cash flow.Only your own goals can determine whether to bump past the 2% rule.

I can't speak for others, but I would never pay retail pricing...The benefits my contractors get from me:- They get recurring business from me, thus cutting down their marketing costs and reducing down-time- They get referrals to other investors, thus increasing their income, cutting their marketing costs and reducing their down-time- My houses are vacant, so there is less headache with rehab tasks- My scheduling is done such that contractors don't need to put down clothes on floors and don't need to do any major cleaning when they're done (we bring in cleaners at the end)- I pay consistently and immediately and contractors never have to wonder if they'll get paid- I am a great reference for my contractors when they need one for other clients.

I think some anxiety is a good thing…keeps you on your toes and thinking sharp, but at the same time you have to trust you instinct and make it happen.FHA owner occupied multifamily is a great way to start out with little cash down, and if you close early in the month you get a big check and don’t have to pay your first mortgage payment for 2 months!

They have mobile apps so you can update things on the fly.For recurring projects like spring cleanup or winterizing sprinklers in the fall, I set a calendar reminder.

My anxiety has been through the roof over this and all of you have really eased my mind.

I have started looking into expanding my real estate activities and this recurring theme of "mailing absentee [out of state] owners" has always seemed strange to me.
