I say weak because I would want the victims to suffer for a whole before expiring.

I have an asset that has appreciated but have suffered greatly from inept property managers and tenant friendly laws- when I cash in, what do I do with the proceeds?

So I think I'm heading in a pretty good direction.However, with that multitude of knowledge I've gained (and still searching and learning) my biggest concern now is after I accept the offer, relocate, and start getting paid I want to ENSURE that I dont suffer from "Lifestyle Creep" and focus all of my money on preparing myself and my bank account for getting started in real estate investing.So my question is this,Should I seek a financial planner or an accountant to help me manage my finances to achieve my goals in real estate investing?

However, times have been extremely GOOD right now, but if something were to happen in the economy again and you are financially diversified, you can suffer greatly.

This means that you can be sued without limit. it's their fun way of encouraging you to remediate if children are in the house, since they're most likely to eat paint chips and suffer the consequences.

Though much harder than a maple butcher clock countertop, I am a little concerned it may suffer the same issues in the long term (time will tell).

After that, it's a guess, but I think things will swing back around to this part of the country at some point.This part of the country suffers from high taxes and over-regulation, and demographically people (especially older people) and companies have been moving to other parts of the country, as you noted.I think it will take a lot of time, and a change in political leadership (probably several changes) for there to be a will to make our part of the country competitive again, for the tax burden to businesses and individuals, but I think it will eventually happen.There could also be some change that we can't even foresee yet, for example maybe in 15-20 years climate change makes the southern part of the U.S. a lot less desirable than it is currently, making the Northeast look better in relative terms, right around the same time (hopefully) we get new political leadership which tries to lure individuals and businesses back from other parts of the country.It's hard to predict that far out into the future, but again, things tend to happen in cycles, so while I would never recommend anyone move to the Northeast right now, if you have to be here for some other reason (e.g., family), I think the trend will eventually swing back in the Northeast's favor.

Of that $210, $100 is the return of your original investment (aka "return OF capital") and the $110 is your earnings (return ON capital).If you invest $100 and get back a total of $10, you've suffered a 90% loss. 

I have not suffered any significant damage and I own properties from the NE cape to the SW cape.

If the property wasn't in good condition prior to them taking over and now they are suffering the consequences, this may not be the PM's fault.
