Hello again.I think you’re trying to push a rope in respect to your real estate agent.In their defense, "Price" is the number one factor in selling property.

I was also an ex-Navy working in nuke reactor/engineering department aboard two flat tops carrier, did stints in the private sector as defense contractor, engineer, consultant.

This structure helps thwart the lawsuit before its filed.Also, insurances are a good first line of defense, but aren't a good enough defense for me to rely on exclusively.

@William Dorough Your first line of defense is to carry adequate insurance on your properties.

But now we're starting to see the projects mature and sell or re-sign leases so it's an interesting intellectual exercise to proforma a tic as a medium hold defensive investing position at the end of a bull market. 

This is similar to a cram down where a court may adjust or disregard old liens in an order.I have never heard of anyone who was a borrower taking this defense to be relieved from the debt, but things happen in life.

A college education has its advantages, but it also has its limitations because of the way many degree programs are taught and the way traditional employers treat back-to-school education programs (the more job-related courses you take in your field, the more raises you are supposed to get).When the Cold War ended and President Bush declared a "peace dividend" in the early 1990s, homeless shelters in Silicon Valley reported some of their clientele had advanced degrees (many tech firms are in the aerospace-defense business).

Yes dealing with college kids might not be great, but we will make sure to do our fair share of due diligence on tenants and implement a solid upfront deposit as a defense mechanism. 

In their defense, most of the time they do not fully understand what's going on with their property.

It applies to just about everything including mortgages.StephanieNot sure why some of you come off as so defensive.
