It wasn't that bad as far as being gross goes other than the hole in the ground leading to the sewer, but it still takes the cake for weirdest thing stolen from a house.

@Rob TossbergLooks like you want your cake and eat it too.

The next one should be a piece of cake!

Be prepared to scale to multiple properties. one property will eat up your annual trip to memphis. dont think you can do remote asset management sitting from anaheim. also you can invest in inland empire with similiar numbers. i am not sure why you are not casting your net locally.

You really can have your cake and eat it too.

It seems as if they do not need an investor becasue they are selling like hot cakes!

., I would prefer to be armed.If anyone is following the news, the city of Anaheim, CA had over 1,000 people semi-rioting in the streets last night.

Sure, it has a cost (I've been more fortunate than some in that my employer paid for me to move), but you have to evaluate it in the context of future income/earnings, and whether it's worth it for you (and your family) or not.For some folks they simply don't want to change where they live - and that's OK; but you can't have your cake and eat it too (i.e you can't stay in a high unemployment area but still expect to make loads of money in salary or whatever else; if you choose to stay because of lifestyle or other reasons, that's totally fine - but there's generally a choice to move to somewhere different with better employment opportunities).If you invest (for sake of argument) 20K in moving and you gain 10K a year after tax in extra earnings - that's a 2 year ROI, after which, you're making extra money that will continue to increase with raises and so on - WIN!

Are they going to serve chocolate cake at your funeral ?

Dont count on it being a piece of cake and enjoying it.
