I'm planning to place a bike with a basket at my multifamilty complex and allow tenants to check it out like a library book.

Ancient sailors often came down with a disease called “Scurvey” It also was not a disease but a symptom caused by a lack of nutrients which the body needs and are found in fresh vegetables and fruit.

We really like single family, We look at it as multiple savings accounts that as things arise in our future retirement we can sell one now and then to enjoy the fruits, if it was a couple of multi family that would make a bigger hit on our portfolio.

Tenant shall refrain from disposing of things such as grease, bones, coffee grounds, orange peels, celery, corn husks, asparagus, egg shells, fruit pits, potato peels, or the like down the garbage disposal in kitchen.

He’s convinced that this house is our retirement/ kids college fund.I just can’t imagine it going up so much more and don’t like having all of our “ eggs in one basket” so to speak.. 

A few additional suggestions: don't put all your eggs in one basket hiring one acquisitions manager right awa. 

Invest in rentals with your personal savings and use your IRA to diversify in trust deeds, this would be a wise things to do to spread your eggs in a different basket.

Send them a fruit basket at Christmas.

However I'm also a believer in not having all my eggs in one basket which is why I still have some funds invested in the stock market/bonds both in the US and international.

If you do surround a property in this matter, you should put your by-the-house bushes and greenery in wood planters made out of dimensional lumber, wood baskets, and large plastic stone-look pots.
